D.C. Taxing Authority Review Act
Refreshed 4 h ago
Introduced 2026-07-16Topic: taxesSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would change how certain District of Columbia laws take effect. Any D.C. Act that falls under title 47 of the D.C. Code (which covers taxation and finance) or that would impose or increase a tax or fee could not take effect unless Congress passes, and the law enacts, a joint resolution approving it within 60 days of the Act being sent to Congress. Congress would consider these approval resolutions under an existing expedited process, with debate limited to one hour split equally between supporters and opponents. The change would apply to D.C. Acts sent to Congress after the bill becomes law.
