The Secure DC Pretrial Detention Extension and Reporting Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024 by removing the sunset date for certain pretrial detention provisions. Specifically, it repeals sections 18(c)(2) and 30(k) of the original act, thereby extending the applicability of these provisions indefinitely. Additionally, the bill modifies the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for the District of Columbia Establishment Act of 2001 to clarify reporting requirements, including changing deadlines for submissions related to juvenile justice and public safety.
The amendments include specific changes to the reporting timelines, such as replacing the phrase "no later than 180 days after the applicability date of section 30(f), (g), and (h)" with "no later than May 7, 2025." Similar adjustments are made throughout the bill to ensure that references to the Secure DC Omnibus are updated to reflect the new deadlines. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2025, following approval by the Mayor or a potential override of a veto by the Council.
