Bill > HJRes109

This resolution disapproves an action taken by the District of Columbia (D.C.) Council regarding the Open Meetings Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 (D.C. Act 26-86), which was enacted on June 26, 2025, and subsequently transmitted to Congress on July 7, 2025, in accordance with the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The Home Rule Act provides a mechanism for Congressional review of D.C. legislative actions, allowing Congress to potentially nullify local legislation. In this specific case, the resolution represents a formal congressional objection to the temporary amendment, though the specific details of the amendment's content are not provided in the text. The resolution is a formal expression of congressional disapproval, which suggests that the Senate and House of Representatives have identified some concern with the D.C. Council's legislative action related to open meetings regulations.
