A bill to amend the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, and for other purposes.

Summary

Amends the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act to modify the procedure by which Congress reviews an act passed by the District of Columbia City Council or an amendment to the District of Columbia Charter. Makes an amendment to the Charter effective after 35 days following its submission to Congress unless a joint resolution of disapproval has been enacted and presented to the President. Makes an act of the City Council effective after 30 days following transmittal to Congress unless a joint resolution of disapproval has been enacted and presented to the President. (Currently, an act of the Council becomes effective only if both Houses of Congress do not adopt a concurrent resolution of disapproval.) Authorizes the City Council to adopt resolutions to approve or disapprove, when specifically authorized by an act, proposed actions designed to implement a Counsil act. Repeals provisions of the District of Columbia Retirement Reform Act which permit either House of Congress by a concurrent resolution to reject any report submitted by the Retirement Board.
