Bill > HJRes114

This resolution extends the crime emergency in Washington, D.C. that was originally declared by the President on August 11, 2025, continuing the emergency status until the President officially declares its conclusion. The resolution is grounded in section 740(d) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which provides a legal mechanism for extending emergency declarations specifically related to the District of Columbia. By passing this resolution, Congress is effectively supporting the continuation of enhanced governmental powers and potentially special law enforcement measures that are typically associated with a declared crime emergency, which suggests there are ongoing significant public safety concerns in the city that require extraordinary administrative or security responses.
