          <text>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;District of Columbia Prosecutor Home Rule Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This bill shifts the responsibility for prosecuting all violations of the laws, ordinances, and regulations of the District of Columbia (DC) to a local prosecutor's office.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Currently, the responsibility for prosecuting such violations is shared between DC and the federal government. Generally, the local Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia prosecutes crimes committed by juveniles and criminal violations of municipal regulations, and the federal&amp;nbsp;U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia prosecutes all other crimes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bill also specifies that current employees of the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia who continue to be employed by the local prosecutor's office retain their eligibility as federal employees for purposes of health insurance, retirement, and&amp;nbsp;other federal benefits.&lt;/p&gt;</text>
