Ends the District of Columbia Judicial Nomination Commission and transfers the Commission’s judge-selection duties to the President for covered D.C. judicial appointments made after the law takes effect. It removes the Commission from the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, updates related Home Rule Act and D.C. Code provisions, deletes the table-of-contents entry for the Commission, and makes the changes apply to appointments made on or after enactment.
