Prearrest Diversion Task Force Recommendations Emergency Amendment Act of 2025
This bill extends deadlines for the Prearrest Diversion Task Force, which reviews misdemeanor diversion programs. It changes the initial recommendation deadline from June 2025 to June 2025 (for the task force's first report) and moves the final recommendations deadline from March 2025 to July 31, 2026. It also updates probate notice rules in D.C. law to allow notices in any general-circulation newspaper - not just "legal periodicals" - for estate filings involving property in the District. The bill is an emergency amendment, effective immediately upon approval.

MINOR
This bill was converted from a draft version to its enrolled (final) form. The substantive policy content remains unchanged, but the formatting, structure, and some legal citations were adjusted to reflect the final legislative process. The core amendments to two DC laws regarding prearrest diversion timelines and probate notice procedures are preserved.
TECHNICAL
The bill's title page and header information were reformatted to match official enrolled legislation standards, including adding 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' labels and signature blocks for the Council Chairman and Mayor.
A legal citation in the effective date section was updated to reference the correct section of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act (section 412(a) instead of an incomplete reference).
Line breaks and paragraph spacing were adjusted throughout the document to conform to official enrolled bill formatting requirements.
