The resolution declares an emergency to amend the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for the District of Columbia Establishment Act of 2001, specifically section 1507, to extend the deadline for the Prearrest Diversion Task Force to issue its initial recommendations for prearrest diversion of certain misdemeanor offenses to July 2026. This extension is necessary due to staffing constraints that delayed the Task Force's ability to convene until June 2025. The resolution also seeks to amend Title 20 of the District of Columbia Official Code to allow for broader publication options for notices related to probate proceedings, which currently face limitations that hinder access and implementation.

The Council emphasizes the urgency of these amendments to ensure that the Task Force can operate effectively and that probate laws are modernized to facilitate the timely appointment of personal representatives and access to decedent estate assets. The resolution is set to take effect immediately and is intended to address the identified issues in a single reading, reflecting the Council's determination of the emergency circumstances surrounding these legislative needs.
