The Peace DC Omnibus Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 was enacted to address urgent amendments needed in various laws and regulations in the District of Columbia. This resolution aims to support public safety, reduce recidivism, and enhance community harmony by implementing changes to the Omnibus Police Reform Amendment Act of 2000, allowing Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) applicants to count certain training credit hours towards educational requirements. It also seeks to clarify warrantless arrest authority for the MPD, streamline the adjudication process for fare evasion citations, and ensure that offenses eligible for automatic sealing are also eligible for sealing by motion.

The resolution identifies several provisions that require immediate action to prevent confusion and inefficiencies in the court system, avoid legal gaps, and facilitate improvements in public safety and regulatory processes. By declaring an emergency, the Council of the District of Columbia aims to expedite the implementation of these necessary changes, which are crucial for the effective functioning of law enforcement and the judicial system in the district. The resolution is set to take effect immediately following its adoption.
