National Capital Planning Commission District of Columbia Home Rule Act
This bill removes federal oversight of District of Columbia property decisions by eliminating the National Capital Planning Commission's (NCPC) review requirements. Specifically, it amends U.S. Code sections to: (1) end NCPC's recommendation requirement for property transfers between federal and DC authorities (40 U.S.C. §8124), (2) remove DC references from development approval rules (40 U.S.C. §8722), and (3) eliminate NCPC's approval needed for DC land sales (removing 40 U.S.C. §8734). The bill directly affects the District of Columbia government, granting it greater autonomy over local property management decisions. It takes effect upon enactment.
