This bill, titled the "Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act of 2025," establishes a program to beautify the District of Columbia and creates a commission to oversee related efforts. The Secretary of the Interior will develop a beautification program within 30 days of the bill's enactment, consulting with various federal and local officials, including the Attorney General, the Secretary of Transportation, and the Mayor of the District of Columbia. This program aims to coordinate efforts to maintain the cleanliness of federal and District facilities, public spaces, and transit systems, remove graffiti, restore damaged monuments, and encourage private sector involvement, and will terminate on January 2, 2029. Additionally, the bill establishes the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Commission, composed of representatives from various federal agencies like the Department of Homeland Security and the FBI, as well as local entities such as the Mayor's Executive Office. This Commission, chaired by a senior official from the Executive Office of the President, will recommend and review actions related to enforcing federal immigration law, monitoring the District's "sanctuary-city" status, improving the forensic crime lab, assisting the Metropolitan Police Department with recruitment and retention, expediting concealed carry license requests, reviewing pretrial detention policies, combating fare evasion on public transit, and increasing federal and local law enforcement presence in key areas. The Commission will also terminate on January 2, 2029.
