The Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Technical Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 aims to enhance the oversight of police conduct in the District of Columbia by expanding the Police Complaints Board from five to nine members, ensuring representation from each Ward and including an at-large member. The bill also allows the Executive Director of the Office of Police Complaints to initiate complaints based on evidence of police misconduct that was not included in the original complaint. This includes situations where an officer fails to intervene or report excessive force or other misconduct by fellow officers.

Additionally, the bill amends provisions in Chapter 3 of Title 14 of the District of Columbia Official Code to clarify that certain legal references apply specifically to victims under the age of 18. This includes changes to language regarding the relationships of victims in various contexts, ensuring that the legal framework is clear and applicable to minors. The act is set to expire after 225 days unless further action is taken, and it will take effect following the Mayor's approval and a congressional review period.
