B 26-0561 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Pretrial Detention Reporting Emergency Amendment Act of 2026

This bill amends reporting requirements for pretrial detention data in Washington, D.C. It changes deadlines for criminal justice agencies to submit reports, setting a fixed deadline of September 30, 2026, instead of relying on future implementation dates of other laws. The bill also clarifies that reports must account for two specific prior laws: the "Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency" and the "Secure DC Omnibus." These changes apply to all pretrial detention reporting, including for juveniles, and directly affect D.C. criminal justice agencies responsible for compiling and submitting these data.
