A joint resolution disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.
This bill, SJR195, is a joint resolution aimed at disapproving the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026, which was approved by the District of Columbia Council. This resolution is proposed by several Republican senators and seeks to overturn the Council's decision.
The resolution would affect the District of Columbia's local government, specifically how it reports arrest data. If passed, it could alter the policies set by the Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026. The District of Columbia's ability to enforce certain accountability measures in arrest reporting would be impacted.
As of June 2, 2026, the bill has been introduced and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. This means it is currently under review by the committee, which will determine the next steps for the resolution.
