The resolution, titled the Residential Tranquility Second Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025, addresses the urgent need to amend the Residential Tranquility Act of 2010. It aims to prohibit the use of sound amplifying devices in residential zones during nighttime hours (from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 a.m.) for demonstrations targeting residences. Additionally, it seeks to prevent individuals from launching or throwing projectiles onto residential properties with the intent to instill fear, intimidate, or retaliate against residents. The resolution also proposes an amendment to the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997, establishing a specific expiration date for Council appointments to the Corrections Information Council.

This emergency resolution is necessary to fill a legal gap that would occur between the expiration of the current congressional review emergency act and the projected law date of a temporary act. The Council of the District of Columbia has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to be adopted after a single reading and taking effect immediately.
