District of Columbia Legislative Home Rule Act

Summary

District of Columbia Legislative Home Rule Act This bill eliminates the authority of Congress to nullify recently enacted laws of the District of Columbia (DC).

If the President signs the resolution, the measure may not go into effect. The bill eliminates that congressional review process.
