SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘District of Columbia 
Home Rule Improvement Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The District of Columbia was granted lim-
ited autonomy in 1973 by Congress, who at the time 
did not wish to intervene in the day-to-day govern-
ance of the city. 
(2) This grant of limited autonomy by Congress 
may be revoked by Congress at any time. 
(3) Article 1, section 8, clause 17 of the United 
States Constitution provides Congress with the ex-
clusive jurisdiction over the District of Columbia. 
(4) This clause was included for specific rea-
sons, notably the fact that the operation of the seat 
of the Federal Government of the United States, 
whose laws affect approximately 330 million Ameri-
cans, should not be impeded by local ordinances, ac-
tions, or taxation. 
(5) The Framers of the Constitution had good 
reason for this concern, having witnessed the reluc-
tance of local authorities to police disorderly conduct
