That sentence, in plain words

Congress says no to a tax law passed by the city council in Washington.

What this is about

Washington, D.C. is not a state. Its council passes laws. But Congress may say no within a set time. The council passed a tax law in December 2025. Congress voted to reject it. The resolution gives no reason.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Resolution itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
