No Convicts Running the Capital Act

HR 7068, the "No Convicts Running the Capital Act," prohibits the District of Columbia government from hiring or contracting with individuals or entities linked to serious criminal convictions. It bans appointments to DC government positions for anyone with a final conviction for a violent or dangerous crime (defined as offenses similar to those in DC law), requiring termination of current employees with such convictions within 90 days. Similarly, it prevents DC from entering contracts with vendors employing such individuals, having officers/directors with these convictions, or being controlled by them, terminating existing contracts with affected vendors within 90 days. The law applies to all DC government offices and contracts, focusing on removing individuals with final convictions from government roles and vendor relationships.
