Show full summary
  • For District residents and young people: Limits youth-offender status to those 18 or younger and allows some minors as young as 14 to be tried as adults for certain offenses. It also directs the D.C. Attorney General to run a public juvenile-crime statistics website and prevents the D.C. Council from changing existing criminal sentences.
  • For law enforcement and courts: Sets standards for police vehicular pursuits in the District and terminates the D.C. Judicial Nomination Commission, altering how local judges are selected.
  • For energy, infrastructure, and congressional timing: Fast-tracks bills that reform the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission interconnection queue, reestablish the National Coal Council, and streamline international border-crossing approvals for oil, natural gas, and electricity. The resolution also folds Federal Reserve and central bank digital currency text into another bill, moves several procedural deadlines to March 31, 2026, and suspends a portion of the National Emergencies Act from September 16, 2025 to March 31, 2026 with respect to a joint resolution tied to the July 30, 2025 emergency.
