What it does
This joint resolution would terminate the crime emergency declared by the President on August 11, 2025, for the District of Columbia, ending any federal authority or actions tied to that emergency declaration. It affects the District of Columbia by removing the basis for federal intervention in local law enforcement and restoring the city’s ability to use its own locally raised revenues for public safety purposes. The resolution cites declining violent crime rates and the federal blocking of $1 billion in local funds as justification for ending the emergency. It relies on Section 740(b) of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to effectuate the termination.
