The Secure DC Pretrial Detention Extension and Reporting Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024 by removing the sunset date for certain pretrial detention provisions. Specifically, the bill repeals sections 18(c)(2) and 30(k) of the existing law, 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 the Secure DC Omnibus.
Key amendments include adjusting the reporting timeline to require submissions no later than May 7, 2025, and ensuring that references to the effective dates of related legislation are updated to reflect the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency. The act is set to apply from January 1, 2025, and will remain in effect for 225 days after its approval, unless further legislative action is taken.
