This legislation seeks to restore equitable and fair treatment for law enforcement personnel in the District of Columbia by re-establishing certain rights. A primary provision of the bill is to restore the right to negotiate matters pertaining to the discipline of law enforcement officers through collective bargaining, which is accomplished by amending the District of Columbia Government Comprehensive Merit Personnel Act of 1978. Furthermore, the bill addresses disciplinary procedures for the Metropolitan Police Department by restoring the statute of limitations for bringing disciplinary cases against its members or civilian employees. This is achieved by repealing Subtitle M of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, thereby reviving any provisions of law that were amended or repealed by that subtitle.
