SJRES 194 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.

This joint resolution expresses the U.S. Senate's disapproval of a local law passed by the District of Columbia Council regarding body-worn cameras. The specific provision being rejected is the temporary amendment that requires police officers to record and release footage of their use of force to the public. By formally disapproving this action, Congress is exercising its constitutional authority to review local legislation that affects federal interests. The measure does not change the law itself but rather records the federal government's official stance against the D.C. Council's decision.
