US HB5183

Extends the congressional review period for D.C. laws from 30 days to a uniform 60 days, during which Congress can disapprove legislation passed by the D.C. Council before it takes effect

Authorizes Congress to disapprove individual provisions of D.C. laws rather than requiring disapproval of entire acts, and expands disapproval authority to cover D.C. executive orders and regulations issued by the Mayor

Prohibits the D.C. Council from withdrawing acts already transmitted to Congress and bars transmission of acts substantially the same as previously disapproved legislation without specific congressional authorization

Eliminates the ability to renew emergency legislation exemptions, meaning acts passed under emergency circumstances cannot be extended or substantially recreated without undergoing the standard 60-day congressional review

Requires the D.C. Council Chair and Mayor to appear annually before House and Senate oversight committees to present a report on the state of the District with legislative recommendations
