Bill > HR4259

This bill aims to reduce the National Capital Planning Commission's (NCPC) authority over property owned by the District of Columbia. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to limit the NCPC's role in property transfers and development approvals. Under the proposed changes, the NCPC would only be required to recommend transfers of property between federal authorities or between federal and District of Columbia authorities, but would no longer have approval power over District of Columbia governmental projects or land sales. The bill removes several sections of existing law that previously gave the NCPC oversight of District property, effectively granting the District of Columbia more autonomy in managing its own properties and development projects. The changes would take effect immediately upon the bill's enactment, and the bill is officially titled the "National Capital Planning Commission District of Columbia Home Rule Act". This legislation represents a move to increase local control for Washington, D.C. by reducing federal oversight of its property management and development processes.
