S 4695 United States Senate · 118th Congress

BOWSER Act

This bill repeals the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which established D.C.'s local self-government authority. It would take effect one year after the bill is signed into law, ending D.C.'s current system of local control. The repeal directly affects D.C. residents and their elected local government by removing the legal foundation for home rule. This is a procedural change that would transfer authority over D.C. governance back to Congress.
