A bill to subject emergency legislation enacted by the District of Columbia Council to expedited congressional disapproval procedures.
This bill requires the District of Columbia Council to send any emergency law it passes to Congress within 3 session days. Congress then has 90 days to block the law through a joint resolution of disapproval. If Congress doesn’t act within that window, the emergency law takes effect immediately. The bill directly affects the DC Council (which must transmit such laws) and Congress (which gains the power to halt emergency legislation).
