A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022.

This joint resolution (SJRES 26) formally disapproves of the District of Columbia Council’s approval of the local law known as the "Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022" (D.C. Act 24-781). It directly affects the District of Columbia by preventing the implementation of that specific policing reform law, which the Council had enacted on January 19, 2023. The resolution is a procedural action by Congress under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, expressing disapproval of the Council’s action without creating new policy. This disapproval would stop the local law from taking effect, as required by federal law for certain D.C. legislation.
