          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;District of Columbia Legislative Home Rule Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill eliminates the authority of Congress to nullify recently enacted laws of the District of Columbia (DC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Current law generally provides Congress with a 30-day period in which to review and nullify measures enacted by the DC Council (60 days for measures involving criminal law).&amp;nbsp;An enacted measure is nullified if Congress passes and&amp;nbsp;the President signs a joint resolution of disapproval. If there is no congressional action during the review period, the measure becomes law.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill eliminates this&amp;nbsp;congressional review period and process.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
