H.R. 4670 — To subject emergency legislation enacted by the District of Columbia Council to expedited congressional disapproval procedures.

This section subjects emergency legislation enacted by the District of Columbia Council—previously effective immediately for up to 90 days without congressional review—to disapproval by joint resolution enacted within 90 days of enactment. It requires the Council Chairman to transmit such legislation to the Speaker of the House and President of the Senate within three session days of enactment and specifies that the legislation takes effect immediately upon enactment. (As background, under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, the Council may enact emergency legislation that takes effect immediately due to urgent circumstances.)
