The Pretrial Detention Reporting Congressional Review 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, several 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 timelines align with these legislative measures.
The bill also revises the reporting requirements for juveniles, establishing a deadline of "no later than September 30, 2026." Similar to the adult reporting requirements, the language regarding the applicability date of section 28 of the Secure DC Omnibus is amended to include the effective date of the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency. This act is set to apply as of January 1, 2025, and will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days following approval by the Mayor or a Council override of a potential veto.
