The Secure DC Pretrial Detention Extension and Reporting Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend existing laws regarding pretrial detention and reporting requirements within the District of Columbia. Specifically, the bill removes the sunset date for certain pretrial detention provisions established in the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024 by repealing sections 18(c)(2) and 30(k). This change ensures that the pretrial detention measures remain in effect beyond their previously designated expiration.
Additionally, the bill modifies the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for the District of Columbia Establishment Act of 2001 by updating the reporting timelines. It amends subsection (b-9) to require reports to be submitted no later than May 7, 2025, and adjusts various references to the effective dates of related legislation. The amendments also apply similar updates to subsection (b-10) concerning juvenile reporting requirements, ensuring consistency in the timelines across the board. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2025, following the necessary approvals.
