B 25-0732 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Technical Temporary Amendment Act of 2024

This bill temporarily expands the Police Complaints Board in Washington, D.C., by increasing its membership from five to nine members, including representatives from each city ward. It also grants the Office of Police Complaints' Executive Director the authority to file their own complaints against officers if they discover evidence of misconduct that the original complainant did not allege, such as a failure to intervene or report excessive force. Additionally, the legislation clarifies that certain legal provisions regarding sexual assault victims specifically apply only to those under the age of 18 and includes a minor technical correction to a transportation funding statute. These changes are set to expire after 225 days or when a related 2022 reform act takes full effect.
