This legislation proposes to repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act , which currently grants the District its self-governance powers. The primary objective of this bill is to terminate the District's local legislative and executive authority. Should this bill be enacted, the repeal would become effective one year after its date of enactment . This measure would effectively place the District of Columbia under direct federal control, eliminating its current system of local autonomy.
