Disapproving the action of the District of Columbia Council in approving the Insurance Regulation Amendment Act of 2024.

# Summary of HJRES 82 **What This Bill Would Do** This bill is a congressional disapproval measure that would reject an insurance regulation law passed by Washington, D.C.'s local government (the District of Columbia Council). If approved by Congress and signed by the President, it would invalidate the D.C. Insurance Regulation Amendment Act of 2024, preventing that local law from taking effect. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill primarily affects Washington, D.C. residents and businesses operating in the district's insurance market. Congress has special authority to overturn D.C. laws under the Home Rule Act.

However, the bill summary provided does not include specific details about what the D.C. insurance regulation actually changes, making it difficult to assess the exact impact. This type of resolution typically reflects a disagreement between Congress and D.C. leadership over local policy. **Current Status** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by either the House or Senate. Sponsor Christopher Smith (R-NJ) introduced it, but it has not advanced to the full chamber for debate or a vote.
