HR 5183 United States House · 119th Congress

District of Columbia Home Rule Improvement Act of 2025

HR 5183 (District of Columbia Home Rule Improvement Act of 2025) modifies the process for Congress to review District of Columbia laws and mayoral actions. It extends the congressional review period from 30 to 60 days, allows disapproval of specific provisions within a law (not just entire laws), and prohibits the Council from resubmitting laws substantially identical to those previously disapproved by Congress. The bill also requires annual congressional hearings where DC's leadership reports on the District's condition and needs. These changes aim to clarify and streamline the home rule review process for DC legislation and executive actions.
