This bill lets the D.C. Council send its approved laws to Congress by email or another electronic method, instead of only on paper. It also says the House and Senate must accept these electronic copies the same way they accept paper ones. This covers regular D.C. laws and changes to the D.C. Charter .

In plain terms, this makes the process faster and more modern. It can reduce delays and paperwork when D.C. laws are reviewed by Congress .

Who is affected: The D.C. Council, Congress, and D.C. residents who rely on timely local laws.
What changes: Congress must treat electronically sent D.C. laws the same as paper copies; this includes charter amendments.
Why it matters: Quicker, easier transmission can help D.C. laws move through review with less paperwork and delay.
