To amend the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to prohibit the Council of the District of Columbia from enacting any law to permit euthanasia and assisted suicide in the District of Columbia, and for other purposes.

This bill would change the District of Columbia Home Rule Act so that the D.C. Council could not pass any law, rule, regulation, or guidance that allows euthanasia or assisted suicide, or that lowers penalties for those activities. The covered activities are those described in an existing federal law, the Assisted Suicide Funding Restriction Act of 1997. The bill would also repeal D.C.'s Death With Dignity Act of 2016, the existing District law on this subject.
