Issue Position: Home Rule Act Charter Changes in D.C. Structure Look Possible in Next Congress

Issue Position

Date: Jan. 1, 2012
Issues: Federal, State and Local Relations

Norton will introduce a bill to grant the District authority over many structural matters in the District Charter, such as mayoral control of the D.C. Public Schools, which only Congress can amend. The D.C. government would be able to make changes to these structural provisions without coming to Congress. Because the bill involves structural changes, Norton believes she can get it passed in a Republican House.
