Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people who live in, work in, visit, or travel through Washington, D.C. It could change how public places are cleaned, how federal and local law enforcement coordinate, and how immigration enforcement is handled in the city. It could also affect people charged with crimes, people applying to carry concealed guns, Metro riders, D.C. police officers, and local officials who manage city policy.

Why this matters: This bill matters because it links cleaner public spaces in the nation’s capital with a broader federal safety agenda. It could improve upkeep at parks, roads, monuments, transit areas, and other busy places. It could also bring stronger federal pressure on immigration enforcement, police staffing, detention before trial, gun permit processing, and Metro crime. The exact impact would depend on what agencies do with the commission’s recommendations and whether Congress later changes the law.
