Bill Summary
Terminating the emergency determined by the President on August 11, 2025, in the Executive Order titled "Declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia".
AI Summary
This resolution terminates the emergency declaration made by the President on August 11, 2025, regarding crime in Washington, D.C. The resolution is grounded in several key contextual points: violent crime in the District has been declining and is at a 30-year low, the President has not demonstrated a compelling emergency justification, and the federal government has prevented the District from spending $1 billion of its locally-raised revenues for public safety purposes. The resolution specifically cites section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which limits the President's authority to federalize the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD), clarifying that the President can only direct the Mayor to provide MPD services for specific federal purposes. By passing this resolution, Congress would formally end the presidential emergency order, effectively restoring local control over the District's law enforcement and preventing federal intervention in D.C.'s policing and public safety strategies.
