Plain-English Summary

Congress would gain the power to quickly block emergency laws passed by the District of Columbia's city council, requiring lawmakers to vote on disapproving such measures within a set timeframe. This would give the federal government more oversight over D.C.'s local emergency decisions, affecting residents and city officials who currently have more independence in responding to urgent situations. The change would apply whenever D.C.'s council declares an emergency and passes legislation to address it.
