Plain-English Summary

This bill would end an emergency declaration that the President issued on August 11, 2025, regarding crime in Washington, D.C., which had granted the executive branch special powers to address the situation. The measure would require Congress to formally terminate this emergency status, removing any extraordinary authorities that were granted under that declaration. This affects how federal law enforcement operates in the nation's capital and what resources or actions the President can take to address crime there.
