Bill > HR5242

This bill proposes to repeal two significant pieces of District of Columbia legislation: the Second Chance Amendment Act of 2022 and the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act of 2016. By repealing these acts, the bill effectively restores the legal provisions that existed prior to their enactment, as if they had never been passed into law. Additionally, the bill includes two other provisions: first, it repeals Title IX of the Fiscal Year 1997 Budget Support Act, which would terminate the automated traffic enforcement system, and second, it repeals a section of the District of Columbia Traffic Act that placed restrictions on right turns at red traffic signals. The bill specifies that its provisions will apply only to criminal conduct that occurs after the date of its enactment, which means previous criminal actions would not be affected by this repeal. While the bill does not provide detailed context about the specific impacts of repealing the original acts, it suggests a desire to reverse recent criminal justice and traffic-related legislative changes in the District of Columbia.
