The Pretrial Detention Reporting Second Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend section 1505 of the Criminal Justice Coordinating Council for the District of Columbia Establishment Act of 2001 to clarify specific reporting requirements. The bill includes several amendments to subsection (b-9) and (b-10), primarily adjusting deadlines and conditions related to the reporting requirements. Notably, it changes the deadline for certain reports 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, it modifies various phrases to include the "effective date of the Prioritizing Public Safety Emergency" alongside the Secure DC Omnibus.

The act is set to apply as of January 1, 2025, and will take effect following approval by the Mayor or, if vetoed, upon the Council's override. The bill is categorized as an emergency act, which means it will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days unless further action is taken. The Council has adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Budget Director as part of the legislative process.
