Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act of 2025

# CLEAN DC Act Summary **What the bill does:** The CLEAN DC Act would repeal Washington, D.C.'s 2022 police reform law and restore policing rules that existed before that reform was enacted. This means reversing several restrictions and requirements that were added in 2022, including rules that prohibited certain neck restraints by police officers, required specific procedures for body-worn cameras, and made police disciplinary records more accessible to the public. **Who it affects:** This legislation primarily affects the D.C. Police Department and residents of Washington, D.C. It would alter how police officers can operate and what information about officer conduct is available to the public.

The bill specifically impacts police practices and accountability measures in the nation's capital. **Current status:** The bill has passed the House of Representatives and is sponsored by Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-GA). It now awaits action in the Senate. The legislation represents a rollback of police accountability measures that supporters argued were necessary reforms, while opponents of repeal argue the 2022 reforms were important for community oversight and officer conduct standards.
