What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would end Congress's power to cancel new laws made by the District of Columbia government. Right now, Congress has 30 days to review and potentially cancel most DC laws, or 60 days for criminal laws. Under current rules, if Congress passes a resolution and the President signs it, they can stop a DC law from taking effect. This bill would remove that review process entirely.
