The Peace DC Omnibus Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 addresses several urgent amendments to existing laws and regulations in the District of Columbia. It aims to enhance public safety and streamline various legal processes by making conforming changes to Title 6-A of the District of Columbia Municipal Regulations and the Omnibus Police Reform Amendment Act of 2000. Key provisions include allowing Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) applicants to count certain training credit hours towards their educational requirements, clarifying benefits for Fire and Emergency Medical Services survivors, and refining warrantless arrest authority for the MPD. Additionally, the resolution seeks to improve the adjudication of fare evasion citations and clarify the eligibility for automatic sealing of offenses.

The resolution emphasizes the necessity of these amendments to address existing gaps and inefficiencies in the legal system, particularly regarding the sealing of offenses and pretrial detention laws. It highlights the urgency of implementing these changes to support the public safety workforce, reduce recidivism, and foster neighborhood harmony. The Council of the District of Columbia has determined that these circumstances warrant the immediate adoption of the Peace DC Omnibus Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 after a single reading, allowing for swift action on these critical issues.
