Summary

Introduced in House · Updated 11 June 2025

Protecting Our Nation's Capital Emergency Act of 2025

This bill rescinds certain changes that were made in 2023 to District of Columbia (DC) law governing discipline of Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) officers.

First, the bill reinstates a 90-day statute of limitations (i.e., time limit) for initiating a corrective or adverse action against any MPD officer or civilian employee. The bill also allows officer disciplinary matters to be negotiated as part of a collective bargaining agreement. 

Next, the bill eliminates the MPD police chief's authority to increase the police trial board's recommended penalty for officer misconduct.

Finally, the bill eliminates a requirement that MPD publish a schedule online of disciplinary hearings for which the proposed action is termination, including the date, time, and underlying allegations.
