AI-generated summary, report an errorThis joint resolution would have Congress disapprove a District of Columbia law called the Body-Worn Camera Transparency for Use of Force Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 (D.C. Act 26-305). The D.C. Council enacted that law on April 22, 2026, and sent it to Congress on April 29, 2026, under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. If passed, the resolution would block the D.C. law from taking effect. The resolution text does not describe what the D.C. law itself contains.
