Fewer second chances for D.C. defendants
This bill would repeal D.C.’s 2016 and 2022 “second chance” laws. Old rules would return as if those laws never passed. People could lose options for sentence cuts, earlier release, or record sealing in future cases. These changes would apply only to crimes that happen after the bill becomes law.
End D.C. traffic cameras, ease right-on-red
This bill would end the city’s camera-based traffic enforcement program. If you drive in D.C., you could get fewer automated tickets. It would also remove limits on turning right on red. You could turn right on red where signs or local rules allow it.
