Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.
D.C. Arrest Reporting: Blocking Local Law
This bill is currently in the early stages of the legislative process and is being reviewed by the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. No further actions are scheduled at this time. The bill is considered active but has not moved beyond the committee stage.
Legislative Progress
Resolutions to block D.C. laws are common but rarely succeed unless the Senate and the White House agree to override local city decisions.
Key Points
- Rep. Gosar introduced a resolution to cancel a law passed by the District of Columbia Council. The local law is called the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act.
- Congress has the power to review and stop laws made by the D.C. government. This resolution uses that power to try and prevent the city from changing how it tracks and shares information about police arrests.
- If both the House and Senate pass this and it is signed, the D.C. law will be voided. This would stop the city from moving forward with its new reporting requirements for law enforcement.
