Bills and Appropriations Hearings

June 9, 2025 · by Daniel Schuman

The House of Representatives and Senate are in session this week. House

• Protecting Our Nation’s Capital Emergency Act, H.R. 2096, which the Congressional Budget Office describes as modifying Washington, D.C.’s police disciplinary procedures. Specifically, it would (1) strike a provision that prohibits collective bargaining on matters of police discipline, and (2) affect  the statute of limitations for when members of the public can bring claims against the DC Police Department.
• Legislation to repeal the Local Resident Voting Rights Amendment Act of 2022, H.R. 884, which CBO describes as repealing Washington, D.C. law 24-242, which allows noncitizens to vote in D.C.’s local elections and ballot initiatives.
• HALT Fentanyl Act, S. 331, which the Congressional Research Service describes as permanently classifying fentanyl-related substances as Schedule I of the Controlled Substances Act. Criminal offenses involving fentanyl-related substances would be triggered by the same quantities and thresholds and subject to the same penalties as fentanyl analogues.
• District of Columbia Federal Immigration Compliance Act of 2025, H.R. 2056, which CBO describes as directing the Washington, D.C. government to comply with requests from federal immigration authorities to share information and detain non-U.S. nationals. Currently, D.C. law requires a judicial warrant before the District officials would cooperate with federal immigration authorities.
• Rescissions Act of 2025, H.R. 4. The bill text and summary are not available from Congress.gov, but the text is available from the House Rules Committee. Rescissions laws claw back funds already authorized by Congress for programs. The Associated Press reports this bill would rescind $9.4 billion from already approved spending, including $8.3 from the State Department and U.S. Agency for International Development. NPR and PBS would lose federal funding, as would AIDS relief, the U.S. Institute of Peace, and others. The White House outlined the proposed rescissions here. Should Congress agree, the effect on the deficit would be negligible.
