Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Open Meetings Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025.

This measure would block a recent action by the D.C. Council that approved a temporary change to the city’s open meetings rules. In plain terms, Congress is considering stopping D.C.’s “Open Meetings Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025” from taking effect .

If this passes, the D.C. Council’s temporary change would not go forward. That could keep current open-meeting requirements in place instead of allowing the change the Council approved .

• Who is affected: People in Washington, D.C., including residents, local boards, and the D.C. government .
• What changes: It would disapprove (block) the D.C. Council’s temporary amendment about open meetings, so the Council’s change would not take effect .
• When: The timing depends on whether this measure is passed into law; the document does not list an effective date .
