This bill sets up a fast-start program to clean up and restore public spaces across Washington, DC. Within 30 days of becoming law, the Interior Department must create a plan, working with local and federal leaders, to keep parks, sidewalks, transit areas, and monuments clean, remove graffiti, restore damaged memorials, and invite help from private groups. The agency must report progress each year, and the program ends January 2, 2029 .
It also creates a new “Safe and Beautiful” Commission made up of federal law enforcement and other agencies, led by a chair from the White House. The Commission’s job is to recommend actions to reduce crime and improve safety in DC, such as pushing for stronger immigration law enforcement in the city, tracking DC’s “sanctuary city” policies, helping the DC crime lab earn full accreditation, supporting DC police hiring and training, speeding up and lowering the cost of concealed carry licenses, reviewing pretrial detention policies to keep truly dangerous people locked up, fighting fare evasion on Metro, and boosting federal and local police presence at key sites like the National Mall and Union Station. It can coordinate with MPD, WMATA, Park Police, and Amtrak Police, must report to Congress, and ends January 2, 2029 .
