To require the Director of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency for the District of Columbia and the Director of the Pretrial Services Agency for the District of Columbia to reside in the District of Columbia.

# HR 3047 Summary **What the Bill Does** This bill would require two federal agency directors in Washington, D.C. to live within the District of Columbia. Specifically, it targets the directors of the Court Services and Offender Supervision Agency and the Pretrial Services Agency for D.C.—both agencies that oversee people in the criminal justice system, including those awaiting trial or under supervision after conviction. **Who It Affects** The bill directly affects only two people: whoever currently holds or will hold these director positions. Indirectly, it may affect D.C.

residents and the criminal justice system, since the bill's sponsor argues that requiring directors to live in the city would make them more invested in and responsive to local concerns. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (Democrat) and remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill has no additional subjects or provisions listed beyond the residency requirement itself.
