Bill > S2748

This bill establishes a comprehensive program to improve the safety and appearance of Washington, D.C., through two main mechanisms: a beautification program managed by the Secretary of the Interior and a multi-agency commission focused on law enforcement and immigration issues. The beautification program, which will run until January 2, 2029, requires federal and local officials to coordinate efforts to clean and maintain public spaces, remove graffiti, restore damaged monuments, and encourage private sector involvement. The District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Commission will be composed of representatives from various federal agencies, including the Departments of Interior, Transportation, and Homeland Security, and will have broad functions such as recommending actions to maximize federal immigration law enforcement, monitoring the city's sanctuary status, assisting the Metropolitan Police Department, reviewing prosecutorial policies, and facilitating increased law enforcement presence in key areas of the city. The commission will be led by a senior official from the Executive Office of the President and is required to submit annual reports to Congress detailing its activities and recommendations. Both the beautification program and the commission are set to expire on January 2, 2029, providing a time-limited approach to addressing these urban challenges.
