Residential Tranquility Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This emergency resolution (PR 26-0258) amends the District of Columbia's Residential Tranquility Act to prohibit targeted demonstrations using loudspeakers near homes between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m., ban throwing objects at residences to intimidate occupants, and address unattended sound devices causing harassment. It directly affects DC residents in neighborhoods experiencing disruptive demonstrations or harassment, particularly impacting families with young children, night-shift workers, and vulnerable groups like the elderly. Key changes include extending quiet hours beyond current 10:00 p.m.-7:00 a.m. restrictions and adding specific prohibitions for harassment tactics. The resolution also includes a minor administrative update to Council appointment terms for the Corrections Information Council.
