A bill to subject emergency legislation enacted by the District of Columbia Council to expedited congressional disapproval procedures.

This bill proposes amendments to the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, specifically targeting emergency legislation enacted by the D.C. Council. Its primary purpose is to introduce an expedited congressional disapproval procedure for such acts, which currently take effect immediately without direct congressional review. Under the revised provisions, emergency acts passed by the D.C. Council would still take effect immediately upon their enactment. However, they would become subject to potential disapproval by a joint resolution of Congress , which could be enacted before a 90-day period expires. To facilitate this oversight, the Chairman of the D.C. Council would be mandated to transmit these emergency acts to the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate within three session days of their enactment.
