Repeals the District of Columbia's Human Rights Sanctuary Amendment Act of 2022 and restores any D.C. statutory provisions that law had changed back to the form they would have had if the 2022 Act had never been enacted. The measure contains no new funding, deadlines, or program authorizations—its sole effect is to undo the legal changes made by the 2022 Act and revive prior statutory language.
