Referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, and in addition to the Committee on Rules, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.

This bill would allow Congress to quickly block emergency laws passed by the Washington D.C. city council, giving lawmakers a faster way to reject local emergency measures they disagree with. Currently, Congress has limited tools to override D.C.'s emergency decisions, so this would create a streamlined process for federal lawmakers to disapprove of them. The change would affect D.C. residents and the local government's ability to respond quickly to crises without federal interference.
