Bill 118 hjres 26 is a piece of legislation that aims to disapprove of the action taken by the District of Columbia Council in approving the Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022. The bill was introduced in the US Congress in response to concerns about the changes made to the criminal code in the District of Columbia.

The Revised Criminal Code Act of 2022 made significant changes to the criminal code in the District of Columbia, including amendments to existing laws and the creation of new offenses. Some critics of the act argue that these changes could have negative consequences, such as increased incarceration rates or unfair treatment of certain groups.
