Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.
HJRES 24 is a congressional disapproval resolution targeting a District of Columbia law. It formally rejects the D.C. Council's approval of the "Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022" (D.C. Act 24-640), which would have granted voting rights to D.C. residents in local elections. The resolution prevents this D.C. law from taking effect by disapproving the Council's action under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. This is a procedural measure affecting D.C. residents' local voting rights, not a new federal policy.
