The Residential Tranquility Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance residential peace by prohibiting the use of sound amplifying devices for demonstrations in residential zones between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m. It also makes it unlawful to leave unattended sound amplifying devices targeting a residence during these hours and establishes penalties for individuals who throw objects onto residential property with the intent to intimidate or harass residents. The bill includes new definitions and provisions for enforcement, allowing law enforcement to seize unattended sound amplifying devices used in violation of the law.
Additionally, the bill amends the National Capital Revitalization and Self-Government Improvement Act of 1997 to set a specific expiration date of December 7th for Council appointments to the Corrections Information Council. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, as is standard for emergency legislation in the District of Columbia.
