Ending D.C. Home Rule: Congress Takes Direct Control Over Washington.
This bill proposes to eliminate the right of Washington D.C. residents to govern themselves locally. If enacted, the D.C. Home Rule Act would be repealed after one year, transferring direct control over local laws, budgets, and governance back to the U.S. Congress. D.C. citizens would lose the ability to elect their own local government officials responsible for daily city operations.
