The Pretrial Detention Reporting Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for the District of Columbia Establishment Act of 2001 by clarifying certain reporting requirements. Key changes include the adjustment of deadlines for reporting, specifically changing the timeline from "no later than 180 days after the applicability date" to "no later than September 30, 2026." Additionally, the language in several paragraphs has been modified to include the phrase "after the effective date of the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency" alongside the existing reference to the Secure DC Omnibus.

The bill 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 fiscal impact statement associated with the bill has been adopted from the Budget Director, ensuring that the financial implications of these changes are accounted for.
