## Summary

**Ends a federal "crime emergency" for the District of Columbia and restores local control over public-safety decisions.** This resolution would terminate the President's August 11, 2025 emergency, noting violent crime has fallen to a 30-year low and that the federal government prevented the District from spending $1 billion of locally raised revenue in 2025. - District government and public services — Would free $1 billion in locally raised funds that were blocked in 2025, money budgeted for law enforcement, fire and emergency response, and schools. - Metropolitan Police Department and D.C. officials — Would end federal authorization to use the MPD for federal purposes and reaffirm limits in Section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act on federal control. - Federal agencies — Would remove the emergency authority that supported federal involvement in local crime response tied to that declaration.
