H.R. 5107, the Common-Sense Law Enforcement and Accountability Now in DC Act (CLEAN DC Act), would repeal most of the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, a D.C. Council law that implemented police accountability measures. If enacted, the bill would restore police regulations and practices that existed before the 2022 law took effect, with two exceptions: provisions banning neck restraints and chokeholds would remain in place, as would restrictions on vehicular pursuits by officers.
The 2022 D.C. law that would be largely repealed included requirements for public release of body camera footage in serious incidents, background checks to prevent officers with misconduct histories from being hired, access to officer disciplinary records, strengthened use of force review boards, and increased training on de-escalation and use of force. Repealing this law would eliminate most of these accountability and transparency measures in D.C. law enforcement.
The bill has already passed the House in November 2025 with a vote of 233-190. It would require presidential signature to become law. Civil rights organizations have opposed the bill, arguing it would remove important police accountability protections, while supporters contend it would help address public safety concerns in the nation's capital.
