Pretrial Detention Reporting Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2026
This bill amends existing reporting requirements for pretrial detention data in Washington, D.C., clarifying when agencies must submit reports. It directly affects the District's criminal justice agencies responsible for tracking pretrial detainees, including both adults and juveniles. The key change sets a specific deadline of September 30, 2026, for submitting reports related to pretrial detention, while also adding references to the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency Act alongside existing Secure DC Omnibus Act provisions. The legislation is written as an emergency amendment to address congressional review concerns and will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days.
