Residential Tranquility Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2025
This bill amends the 2010 Residential Tranquility Act to prohibit using sound amplifying devices during demonstrations targeting residences between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. in residential zones. It also bans throwing projectiles onto residential property with the intent to cause fear, intimidate, or retaliate against occupants. These provisions directly affect demonstrators and individuals targeting homes, aiming to reduce nighttime disruptions and intimidation. The bill additionally includes a minor technical change to the expiration date for Council appointments to the Corrections Information Council.
