District of Columbia Local Prosecutor to Handle Local Law Violations.
This act shifts the responsibility for prosecuting local law violations in the District of Columbia to a designated local prosecutor's office.

Federal employees transitioning to the local office will retain their federal benefits.

The local prosecutor's office in the District of Columbia will be responsible for prosecuting all violations of local laws and ordinances.
