Secure DC Pretrial Detention Extension and Reporting Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2025
This bill extends deadlines for pretrial detention rules and reporting requirements in Washington, D.C. It removes a temporary sunset date for certain pretrial detention provisions (changing the end date from "225 days after enactment" to July 15, 2025) and updates reporting timelines for the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (shifting deadlines from "180 days after applicability" to May 7, 2025). The changes directly affect D.C.'s pretrial detention system and the Council's reporting obligations to the Mayor and Congress. The bill does not alter pretrial detention policies themselves but ensures existing rules remain in effect and clarifies when required reports must be submitted.
