The Pretrial Detention Reporting Temporary 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 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" to "no later than September 30, 2026." Additionally, various references to the "effective date of the Secure DC Omnibus" are replaced with references to the "effective date of the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency" alongside the Secure DC Omnibus.

The act will apply retroactively from January 1, 2025, and will take effect upon approval by the Mayor, with a subsequent 60-day congressional review period. It is designed to expire 225 days after its enactment, ensuring that the amendments are temporary and subject to further review and adjustment as necessary.
