The Republican bill would also repeal the area’s assisted suicide law and recognize concealed carry permits from other states.
A new Republican bill would include a series of conditions that would have an effect on the laws and programs of the District of Columbia, including banishing non-citizen voting, repealing the region’s assisted suicide law and allowing the recognition of concealed carry permits from other states.
The bill would repeal Washington, D.C.’s assisted suicide law, do away with noncitizen voting in the district, and prohibit D.C. from using traffic cameras or ban right turns on red lights.
In addition, Newsmax reported that the legislation would rescind a police discipline reform bill passed in 2020 and would prevent D.C. from applying consumer protection laws against oil and gas companies for environmental claims.
The author of the bill is the House Appropriations Committee, which wrote the legislation for consideration in its subcommittee on Monday. It added in a press release that the bill “enforces constitutional oversight of D.C. by maintaining pro-life safeguards on the use of government funds, retaining the conscience clause on any D.C. contraceptive requirement, and banning D.C.’s harmful and addiction enabling needle exchange program.”
Newsmax reported that the committee said that the Financial Services and General Government Appropriations Bill has a total discretionary allocation of $23.341 billion, which is about $410 million below the fiscal year 2025 allocation and a 7.9% decrease from the fiscal year 2025 enacted discretionary appropriation.
