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 reporting requirements related to pretrial detention. The bill specifies that certain reports must be submitted no later than September 30, 2026, replacing the previous deadline of 180 days after the applicability date of the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024. Additionally, the language in several paragraphs is updated to include the effective date of the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency alongside the Secure DC Omnibus.

The amendments also adjust the reporting requirements for juveniles, establishing a deadline of September 30, 2026, and modifying various references to ensure consistency with the new timelines. The act is set to apply as of January 1, 2025, and will take effect following approval by the Mayor or a Council override of a potential veto, remaining in effect for no longer than 90 days as per emergency act provisions.
