AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.

This bill would отмен?? No, avoid typo. It would end the law that gives Washington, D.C. local self-government. If enacted, the change would take effect one year later, and the existing home rule law for the District of Columbia would be repealed. In plain terms, this would remove the current system that lets D.C. manage many of its own local affairs.

  • The repeal would not happen right away; it would begin one year after the bill becomes law.
  • The bill targets the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which is the main law behind D.C.’s local government powers.
