SJRES 6 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022.

This joint resolution (SJRES 6) disapproves of the District of Columbia Council's approval of the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022 (D.C. Act 24-640). It directly affects D.C. residents by challenging a local law that would have expanded voting rights for non-resident property owners in D.C. elections. The resolution uses a procedural mechanism under federal law to formally reject the D.C. Council's action, requiring Congress to vote on disapproval within a set timeframe.
