HR 2693 United States House · 119th Congress

District of Columbia Electronic Transmittal of Legislation Act

This bill allows the District of Columbia Council to submit its legislation and charter amendments to Congress in electronic form, rather than requiring paper copies. It directly affects the District of Columbia Council Chairman, who can now choose to transmit or submit bills electronically. The key provision requires the U.S. House and Senate to accept electronic submissions as valid as paper copies for all legislative purposes under the District's Home Rule Act. This is a procedural change with no substantive policy impact, solely updating how the District transmits documents to Congress.
