Analyzed Economic Effects

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

Seal eligible records now in DC

If your offense is on the list that will get automatic sealing later, you can ask a DC court to seal it now by filing a motion. This clarifies that those offenses are already eligible for sealing by motion under Chapter 8 of Title 16. This change takes effect immediately.

DC police training counts toward 60 hours

If you apply to be a DC sworn police officer and you completed the MPD initial training that earns college credit accepted by an accredited school, those credits count toward the 60-hour education rule. This makes it easier to meet the hiring requirement. This change takes effect immediately.

Fare evasion tickets use civil infractions

If you get a fare evasion ticket in DC, your case is handled under the civil infractions process in the 1985 law. The forum and rules to contest, pay, or appeal the ticket change. This applies to fare evasion on public passenger vehicles. This change takes effect immediately.

Clearer rules for DC police arrests

The law clarifies when DC police can make an arrest without a warrant under section 23-581. It makes technical corrections so officers and the public know the limits of this authority. This change takes effect immediately.

Pretrial detention rules stay in effect

The law moves the end date for some pretrial detention rules so they do not lapse. These listed rules from the 2024 Secure DC law remain in force. This change takes effect immediately.
