Special Education for Young Adults in the Custody of the Department of Corrections Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares a legislative emergency to prevent a gap in special education services for young adults held in the District of Columbia's Department of Corrections. It authorizes the Department of Corrections to immediately provide free, appropriate public education to these individuals under federal and local laws while a previous temporary measure is under federal review. By allowing the new emergency amendment to pass quickly, the bill ensures continuous educational support for detained youth during the transition period before the temporary act becomes permanent.
