Protecting Our Nation’s Capital Emergency Act

This bill reverses some changes made in 2023 to how police officers in Washington, DC, are disciplined. It brings back a 90-day time limit for starting disciplinary actions against officers or civilian employees of the DC police department and allows officer discipline matters to be part of union contract negotiations. It also removes the police chief's power to increase punishments recommended by the police trial board and eliminates the requirement that the department post information online about disciplinary hearings where an officer could be fired.
