B 26-0081 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Secure DC Pretrial Detention Extension and Reporting Emergency Amendment Act of 2025

This emergency bill extends existing pretrial detention policies in Washington, D.C., by removing their automatic expiration date. It directly affects the District's pretrial system, which determines whether individuals are held before trial. Key provisions repeal sunset clauses in the 2024 Secure DC Omnibus Act and adjust reporting deadlines for the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council to May 7, 2025, instead of referencing prior legislation. The bill clarifies that reports must now be submitted after two specific emergency measures take effect, streamlining compliance for agencies. This is a procedural extension focused on maintaining current pretrial detention rules without creating new policies.
