Congress votes to reject DC's new arrest reporting law.
The problem
The DC Council passed a law about how arrest information is reported. Congress is using its power to disapprove of this local government action.
The proposal
This resolution disapproves and rejects the DC Council's Full Accountability in Arrest Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2026.
The impact
DC's new arrest reporting rules would not take effect. Law enforcement and criminal justice practices in Washington DC could be affected.
Congress has constitutional power to review DC laws. This resolution exercises legitimate federal authority over the nation's capital.
Stopping a new law can prevent problems. Congressional review allows time to reconsider if the law might cause harm.
Arrest reporting rules can affect police operations. This action protects law enforcement agencies from rules they view as problematic.
DC voters elected representatives to make local laws. Congress overriding them reduces DC residents' ability to govern themselves.
Arrest reporting laws usually aim to increase government transparency. Blocking it reduces public access to information about law enforcement.
Congress doesn't review state laws the same way. This shows DC has less power than states, which some view as unfair.
The law aims to improve accountability in arrest practices. Rejecting it may slow reform efforts in criminal justice.

Individual contributions, grouped by employer · FEC
Where their individual donors work · 2026 cycle
Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
