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 timeline from "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, 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 references to the Secure DC Omnibus.

The act will apply retroactively from January 1, 2025, and will take effect following the Mayor's approval or a Council override of a potential veto, with a 60-day congressional review period. The legislation is temporary and will expire 225 days after it takes effect. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Budget Director as part of the legislative process.
