This joint resolution, H. J. RES. 193, seeks to formally disapprove a specific legislative action undertaken by the District of Columbia Council. The target of this congressional disapproval is the Council's approval of the Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 , identified as D.C. Act 26-305. Enacted by the D.C. Council on April 22, 2026, and transmitted to Congress on April 29, 2026, this resolution aims to prevent the D.C. Act from taking effect. By passing this measure, Congress would exercise its authority under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to nullify the local law, thereby asserting federal oversight over the District's legislative decisions regarding body-worn camera transparency.
