Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act of 2025

This bill would cancel Washington, DC’s 2022 policing reform law and bring back the old rules that were in place before it. In simple terms, it wipes out the 2022 law and restores any earlier laws that the 2022 law changed or removed .

The 2022 law included steps like banning certain neck restraints, adding rules for how police use body cameras, and opening more police disciplinary records to the public. Repealing it would undo those changes and return to how things worked before 2022.

• Who is affected: People living in DC, DC police officers, and anyone interacting with DC law enforcement.
• What changes: The 2022 policing reforms would be removed; earlier laws would come back into effect.
• When: If this bill becomes law, the repeal would take effect and prior laws would be revived as if the 2022 law had never been enacted.
