This bill changes how Congress reviews laws and executive actions from Washington, D.C.'s local government. Currently, Congress has 30 days to reject D.C. laws, but this bill extends that to 60 days, giving lawmakers more time to review what D.C. passes. The bill also makes it easier for Congress to block D.C. laws by allowing them to disapprove of just specific parts of a law instead of having to reject the whole thing.

The bill adds a new power Congress didn't have before: the ability to review and reject the Mayor's executive orders and regulations using the same 60-day process. This means D.C.'s executive branch actions would now face the same congressional oversight as the City Council's laws. The bill also prevents D.C. from trying to pass the same law again after Congress rejects it, unless Congress specifically authorizes it in a new law.

Additionally, the bill streamlines the process for Congress to vote on these disapprovals by setting strict time limits and procedures in both the House and Senate, making it faster and easier to move these votes forward. Finally, it requires D.C.'s Council Chair and Mayor to report to Congress at least once a year on the state of the District and what they think Congress should do. Overall, this bill significantly increases congressional control over D.C.'s local government by expanding what Congress can review and making it easier to block D.C. decisions.
