Bill overview
This bill, the District of Columbia Federal Officials Residency Equality Act of 2019, aims to ensure that federal officials – including circuit and district court judges, U.S. attorneys, and U.S. marshals – serving in the District of Columbia must be residents of the District itself. Currently, these officials have some flexibility in where they can reside, but this legislation removes that exception, requiring them to live in D.C. The changes are intended to promote equality and representation within the federal judiciary and legal system.
