H.R. 5242: To repeal the Second Chance Amendment Act of 2022 and the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act of 2016.
This bill, known as H.R. 5242, aims to repeal two specific pieces of legislation: the Second Chance Amendment Act of 2022 and the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act of 2016. The main points under this bill are as follows:
Repeal of the Second Chance Amendment Act of 2022
The Second Chance Amendment Act of 2022, which is a law enacted in Washington D.C. (D.C. Law 24–284), would be repealed. This means that all changes made by this Act to existing laws would be undone. The provisions that were amended or repealed will be restored or revived as though the Second Chance Amendment Act had never been passed.
Repeal of the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act of 2016
The Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act of 2016, which is part of the Comprehensive Youth Justice Amendment Act of 2016 (D.C. Law 21–36), would also be repealed. Similar to the previous act, this repeal will restore all the laws that were altered or repealed by this Act to their previous state, effectively negating the changes implemented by the Incarceration Reduction Amendment Act.
Implications of the Repeals
The effect of this bill would be to revert the legal landscape back to what it was before these two Acts were passed, which may involve changes related to criminal justice policies and their impact on offenders, particularly youth, in Washington D.C.
