The Secure DC Pretrial Detention Extension and Reporting Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 addresses the urgent need to amend the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024, which established a rebuttable presumption for pretrial detention in certain criminal and juvenile justice cases. The current provisions are set to expire on February 18, 2025, and the resolution seeks to remove this sunset date to allow for continued enforcement of these measures. Additionally, it aims to provide the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) with more time to complete a report assessing the efficacy of these pretrial detention provisions, ensuring that the report includes the necessary data for thorough analysis.

To facilitate these changes, the resolution proposes emergency legislation that will extend the pretrial detention provisions until the CJCC's report is finalized and submitted to the Council. It also seeks to clarify specific reporting requirements within the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for the District of Columbia Establishment Act of 2001. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to take effect without delay.
