District of Columbia Clemency Home Rule Act

This bill transfers the authority to grant clemency (including pardons, sentence reductions, or fine remissions) for crimes under District of Columbia law from federal oversight to the District government itself. It allows the District to establish its own rules for who can grant clemency and under what conditions, without affecting existing clemency decisions made by the President or Mayor before this law takes effect. The bill applies to all District of Columbia criminal cases, regardless of when the crime occurred, and explicitly defines "clemency" to cover pardons, commutations, and financial penalty waivers. This is a procedural change to local governance, not a policy shift affecting criminal sentencing or eligibility.
