Bill overview
This bill, known as the BOWSER Act, seeks to eliminate the District of Columbia’s Home Rule Act. Specifically, it proposes to repeal the existing law that grants the District of Columbia a high degree of self-governance. This would revert authority over the District back to Congress, effectively restoring federal control. The bill aims to fundamentally alter the governance structure of Washington, D.C.
