A joint resolution terminating the emergency determined by the President on August 11, 2025, in the Executive Order titled "Declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia".
This bill (SJRES 75) terminates the President's emergency declaration from August 11, 2025, which had allowed federal use of the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C., under an "emergency" related to crime. It directly affects the District of Columbia's local governance by ending a federal emergency status that had been in place since 2025. The resolution cites declining violent crime (at a 30-year low) and the federal government's prevention of D.C. from spending $1 billion in locally raised funds for public safety and emergency services. It formally ends the emergency under Section 740(b) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, without creating new policies or altering funding mechanisms.
