What was being voted on

119-HR-5143 — District of Columbia Policing Protection Act of 2025

This bill establishes standards for law enforcement officers in the District of Columbia regarding vehicular pursuits. It amends existing D.C. law to redefine when an officer may engage in a pursuit of a fleeing suspect. Under the new standards, a pursuit is allowed unless it poses an unacceptable risk of harm to others, is futile, or if the suspect can be caught more effectively by other means. Additionally, the Act mandates a Department of Justice report regarding technology that could alert the public to active pursuits.
