The Senate is poised to consider a disapproval resolution that would overturn the city's overhaul of its criminal code as soon as this week.
“I don’t know if that’ll stop the Senate Republicans, but our position is the bill is not before Congress any longer,” Mendelson said at a news conference Monday. He said the withdrawal would allow the council to rework the bill, but he didn’t have an estimate on when any revised bill would be resubmitted.
“I think just pulling it back and assessing what the next step is and looking at some of the issues explaining better what the legislation does and does not do, so that will take some time,” Mendelson said.It was unclear on Monday morning whether the Senate would continue to pursue the disapproval resolution, which last week President Biden said he’d sign if it reached his desk. Mendelson said there was nothing in the Home Rule Act that prevents him from withdrawing the legislation.
