Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

5 provisions identified: 3 benefits, 0 costs, 2 mixed.

More chances to seal old records

Starting March 1, 2025, records for conduct on or before September 30, 2027 are covered by the sealing rules. Agencies must seal qualifying records by October 1, 2027. If your offense is not listed in §16-805(b), you can file a motion any time before October 1, 2027. If a sealing motion was dismissed between March 1, 2025 and July 14, 2025, you can file again sooner than one year, and the court can hear it. These sealing provisions apply as of March 1, 2025.

Police applicants can count training credits

The law requires 60 college credit hours to be a sworn MPD officer. If MPD has a deal with an accredited college, up to 20 credits from recruit training can count toward the 60. Add your existing college credits and up to 20 training credits to reach 60.

Fewer charges trigger automatic detention

The detention presumption no longer applies to robbery without a physical injury or to second-degree burglary. Related pretrial detention provisions remain in force through December 31, 2026, and then expire unless extended.

New deadlines for justice reports, clemency

Dates in two Criminal Justice Coordinating Council subsections now run through September 30, 2026. Clemency waiver rules take effect only after mayoral approval or a Council veto override and after a 60-day congressional review. This emergency act takes effect after approval and lasts no longer than 90 days.

New rules on theft and dumping

The single-theft threshold is now $1,000. Two or more thefts in six months that total $1,000 also qualify. Low-value theft is now described as taking “property that has some value.” Unauthorized disposal now covers solid, hazardous, and medical waste. Conduct citations on public passenger vehicles are handled by the Office of Administrative Hearings under the civil infractions process.
