Arena Safety Conformity Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2026

This resolution declares an emergency to prevent a legal gap in safety laws for the Downtown Arena and Southeast Arena in Washington, D.C. It allows the Council to pass a new amendment immediately after a single reading, bridging the time between the expiration of a previous temporary safety measure and the effective date of a subsequent permanent act. The bill directly affects arena operators and security personnel by ensuring continuous prohibitions on unauthorized entry onto playing surfaces. This procedural measure focuses solely on the legislative timeline rather than creating new safety rules.
