HR 4259 United States House · 119th Congress

National Capital Planning Commission District of Columbia Home Rule Act

This bill removes the National Capital Planning Commission's (NCPC) approval authority over property transfers, developments, and land sales involving the District of Columbia. It changes requirements so NCPC must only *recommend* transfers between federal and DC authorities (instead of approving them) and eliminates NCPC's role in approving DC development projects or land sales. These changes directly affect the District of Columbia government, granting it greater autonomy over its own property decisions without NCPC oversight. The bill amends specific sections of Title 40 of the U.S. Code governing NCPC's authority.
