Key Points

  • Allows the DC Council chair to send newly passed DC laws to Congress electronically, not just on paper.
  • Also allows DC charter amendment acts to be submitted to Congress electronically.
  • Requires the House and Senate to treat an electronic submission the same as a paper submission for DC acts.
  • Main impact is faster, simpler paperwork between DC and Congress; it does not change what laws DC can pass.
  • Mostly affects DC and congressional staff who handle these submissions, with little direct day-to-day change for most people.
