National Capital Planning Commission District of Columbia Home Rule Act
United States119th CongressHR-4259House of Representatives
Updated: Jun 30, 2025
Summary
This bill aims to significantly enhance the District of Columbia's self-governance by removing the National Capital Planning Commission's (NCPC) authority over property owned by the District. The legislation amends title 40 of the U.S. Code to eliminate the NCPC's oversight in several key areas, thereby granting the District greater control over its land use and development decisions. Specifically, the bill removes the NCPC's power to recommend transfers of jurisdiction for property solely involving District authorities. It also eliminates the Commission's approval authority for proposed developments and projects by District of Columbia governmental agencies. Furthermore, the legislation repeals the requirement for NCPC approval when the District seeks to sell land , consolidating decision-making power with local District authorities.
