This joint resolution seeks to exercise Congressional oversight by disapproving a specific action taken by the District of Columbia Council. Specifically, it targets The Open Meetings Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 , identified as D.C. Act 26-86. The D.C. Council enacted this temporary amendment act on June 26, 2025, and subsequently transmitted it to Congress on July 7, 2025. By passing this resolution, Congress would effectively nullify the District's act, leveraging its authority under section 602(c)(1) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to overturn local legislation.
