The Pretrial Detention Reporting Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 amends section 1505 of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for the District of Columbia Establishment Act of 2001 to clarify specific reporting requirements. Key changes include the adjustment of deadlines for reporting, with the phrase "no later than 180 days after the applicability date of section 30(f), (g), and (h) of the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024" being replaced with "no later than September 30, 2026." Additionally, various references to the effective date of the Secure DC Omnibus are modified to include the effective date of the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency, ensuring that the reporting requirements align with these legislative timelines.

The act also specifies that the amendments will apply starting January 1, 2025, and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days following approval by the Mayor or subsequent Council action in the event of a veto. The bill aims to enhance clarity and ensure timely reporting related to pretrial detention, thereby supporting the overall objectives of public safety and criminal justice coordination in the District of Columbia.
