Arena Safety Conformity Emergency Amendment Act of 2026

This bill amends existing safety laws to extend a prohibition on unauthorized entry onto playing surfaces to include the Downtown Arena and the Southeast Arena in Washington, D.C. It directly affects visitors, staff, and anyone else who might enter these venues without permission. The key provision adds specific definitions for both arenas and establishes that no person may enter the playing surface unless expressly authorized by the arena operators or their agents. This emergency amendment is intended to align safety rules across all major sports venues in the district and will remain in effect for up to 90 days after approval.
