HR 1089 United States House · 119th Congress

BOWSER Act

HR 1089, the BOWSER Act, would repeal the District of Columbia Home Rule Act (Public Law 93-198) one year after the bill's enactment. This action would eliminate the District's existing self-governing authority, directly affecting Washington, D.C. residents and its local government. The key provision is the outright repeal of the 1973 law that established the District's home rule structure, shifting governance control to Congress.
