HR 5015 United States House · 119th Congress

To amend the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to extend the emergency period during which the President may exercise control over the Metropolitan Police Department.

HR 5015 amends the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to extend the emergency period during which the President can control the Metropolitan Police Department, changing the timeframe from 30 days to 180 days for both new and existing emergencies. This bill directly affects the President's authority to manage DC's police during declared emergencies and applies retroactively to emergencies already in place before the bill's enactment. The key change modifies specific provisions in Section 740 of the Act, replacing all references to "thirty days" with "180 days" to allow for longer presidential oversight.
