The Senate is set to vote Wednesday on a resolution that would invalidate a controversial plan to overhaul the District of Columbia's criminal code. The resolution, which requires a simple majority to pass, is likely to clear the Democratic-led Senate, with President Biden and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer both expressing support for the measure. The resolution would reverse changes made by the D.C. Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022, which reduced penalties for certain nonviolent offenses and increased the use of alternatives to incarceration.
