B 26-0305 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Peace DC Omnibus Temporary Amendment Act of 2025

This bill makes several temporary changes to District laws. It shifts fare evasion citation adjudication to the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs (affecting public transit users), allows Metropolitan Police recruits to count up to 20 training credits toward their education requirement, and updates criminal code definitions (like broadening theft thresholds to include property "of any value" and adding waste disposal categories). It also creates exceptions to pretrial detention for robbery without injury and second-degree burglary. These changes apply to District residents, police applicants, and individuals facing specific criminal charges.

The bill was converted from an Engrossed version to an Enrolled version, which is the final version ready for the Governor's signature. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, though there are minor formatting adjustments and some rewording in the bill's title and description sections.

Scope change

No substantive change to the bill's scope or applicability; the changes are primarily formatting and editorial adjustments between legislative versions.

TECHNICAL

Minor formatting and spacing adjustments throughout the document, including removal of line numbers and cleanup of whitespace.

The bill title description was slightly reworded for clarity, particularly around the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs Civil Infractions Act reference.

Section 5(a) of the Public Conduct Act now explicitly states that fare evasion violations will be adjudicated by the Office of Administrative Hearings under the Civil Infractions Act.
