The Pretrial Detention Amendment Act of 2025 removes sunset dates from certain pretrial detention provisions in the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act.
The Pretrial Detention Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024 to permanently retain certain pretrial detention provisions. Specifically, it repeals the sunset dates in sections 18(c)(2) and 30(k) of the Secure DC Omnibus Amendment Act of 2024, which were set to expire. This change ensures that these pretrial detention provisions remain in effect indefinitely. The fiscal impact of these changes is outlined in the committee report, and the act will take effect after approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
