Secure DC Pretrial Detention Extension and Reporting Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution extends the expiration date of pretrial detention provisions in the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024, which would have ended on February 18, 2025. It removes the sunset date to allow the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) additional time to complete required reports on the effectiveness of these policies. The resolution also clarifies reporting requirements for the CJCC under the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council Establishment Act of 2001. As an emergency measure, it takes immediate effect to prevent the provisions from expiring before the reports are finalized.
