PR 26-0072 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Safety Cluster Resource Alignment and Clarification Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution amends two laws to address immediate needs. It authorizes the District of Columbia Clemency Board to grant 5-year waiting period waivers for pardon applicants (mirroring federal DOJ practice), ensuring applicants with federal waivers aren't deemed ineligible. It also delays implementation of the Second Chance Amendment Act of 2022 from March 1, 2025, to October 1, 2027, giving agencies more time to prepare. The changes directly affect clemency applicants and local agencies implementing the Second Chance Act.
