Congress Moves to Repeal DC Police Reforms and Restore Union Protections

June 11, 2025 – February 23, 2026

The Bottom Line

Congress is voting on H.R. 2096, H.R. 5107, and H.R. 5143 to undo police reforms in Washington, D.C. These bills would bring back union bargaining rights, allow more car chases, and cancel a 2022 law that changed how officers are disciplined. The House is moving these bills to address crime, but the plan overrides the local government's authority over its own police force.

Policies— 3 policys

These three bills form a legislative package aimed at rolling back D.C.'s local police policies. H.R. 5107 serves as a broad repeal of the city's 2022 reform law, while H.R. 2096 and H.R. 5143 address specific issues like officer discipline and vehicle pursuit rules.
