SJRES 68 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Open Meetings Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025.

This joint resolution (SJRES 68) disapproves the District of Columbia Council's approval of the *Open Meetings Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025* (D.C. Act 26-86), which the Council enacted on June 26, 2025. It directly affects the District of Columbia's local governance by nullifying a temporary law clarifying public meeting rules for DC government bodies. The resolution formally rejects the DC Council's action under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act (section 602(c)(1)), requiring congressional disapproval for such local laws to take effect. This is a procedural disapproval, not a policy change, and does not alter the substance of the DC law itself.
