AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would repeal the 1846 law that returned the part of the District of Columbia south of the Potomac River to Virginia. Arlington County and the City of Alexandria, Virginia, would become part of the District of Columbia again. District of Columbia laws would apply in that area and Virginia laws would stop applying there. Existing property rights would stay in place, and court cases already pending in Virginia courts could be finished there. The bill would take effect on the first day of the first fiscal year after it becomes law.
