Capital Emergency Control Act of 2025

This bill changes the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which lets the President take control of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department's services during an emergency. Under the bill, the President could extend that control for additional 30-day periods. To do so, the President would have to send a written notice to the leaders of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee explaining why emergency conditions continue. The change would apply to any such emergency in effect on or after the date the bill becomes law.
