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: benefit, low. 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: mixed, low. 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: mixed, low. 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: mixed, low. 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. ## Sponsors and cosponsors - Sponsor: Brooke Pinto (Democratic), House ## Roll call votes | Date | Chamber | Motion | Result | Yes | No | Other | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 2025-07-01 | House | Final Reading | pass | 12 | 0 | | ## Actions (5) - 2025-07-11: Resolution R26-0158, Effective from Jul 01, 2025 Published in DC Register Vol 72 and Page 007717 (House) - 2025-07-01: Approved with Resolution Number R26-0158 (House) - 2025-07-01: Legislative Meeting (House) - 2025-07-01: Retained by the Council (House) - 2025-06-30: PR26-0259 Introduced by Councilmember Pinto at Office of the Secretary (House) ## Bill text - Enrollment, 2025-07-01: [PDF](https://lims.dccouncil.gov/downloads/LIMS/58057/Meeting1/Enrollment/PR26-0259-Enrollment1.pdf?Id=216873) - Introduced, 2025-06-30: [PDF](https://lims.dccouncil.gov/downloads/LIMS/58057/Introduction/PR26-0259-Introduction.pdf?Id=216046) ## Related bills - B26-0047: Funeral Directors Licensing Reform Amendment Act of 2025 (signed) - B26-0785: Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing Rental Vehicle Sales Tax Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 (signed) - B26-0663: Fiscal Year 2026 Revised Local Budget Temporary Act of 2026 (signed) - B26-0181: Short-Term Disability Insurance Benefit Protection Clarification Amendment Act of 2025 (signed) - B26-0735: Special Education for Young Adults in the Custody of the Department of Corrections Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 (signed) - B26-0760: Medical Cannabis Licensing and Unlicensed Establishment Enforcement Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 (signed) ## Sources - [Enrollment (PDF)](https://lims.dccouncil.gov/downloads/LIMS/58057/Meeting1/Enrollment/PR26-0259-Enrollment1.pdf?Id=216873) - [Introduced (PDF)](https://lims.dccouncil.gov/downloads/LIMS/58057/Introduction/PR26-0259-Introduction.pdf?Id=216046) ## Related - [B26-0047: Funeral Directors Licensing Reform Amendment Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/state-bill/DC-B26-0047-26) - [B26-0785: Peer-to-Peer Car Sharing Rental Vehicle Sales Tax Clarification Emergency Amend…](https://policyrisk.com/state-bill/DC-B26-0785-26) - [B26-0663: Fiscal Year 2026 Revised Local Budget Temporary Act of 2026](https://policyrisk.com/state-bill/DC-B26-0663-26) - [B26-0181: Short-Term Disability Insurance Benefit Protection Clarification Amendment Act…](https://policyrisk.com/state-bill/DC-B26-0181-26) - [B26-0735: Special Education for Young Adults in the Custody of the Department of Correcti…](https://policyrisk.com/state-bill/DC-B26-0735-26) - [B26-0760: Medical Cannabis Licensing and Unlicensed Establishment Enforcement Clarificati…](https://policyrisk.com/state-bill/DC-B26-0760-26) - [District of Columbia bills](https://policyrisk.com/states/district-of-columbia/bills) - [District of Columbia state hub](https://policyrisk.com/states/district-of-columbia) - [All state legislation](https://policyrisk.com/state-bills) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/state-bill/DC-PR26-0259-26 (as of 2026-11-04).
