H.R. 5143 would amend D.C. Law 24-345, the Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Amendment Act of 2022, to permit vehicular pursuit by the police of criminal suspects who flee the site of an incident using a motor vehicle. The bill also would require the Department of Justice report to the Congress within three years on police vehicular pursuits within the District of Columbia. On the basis of information on the cost of similar reporting requirements, CBO estimates that complying with the reporting requirements contained in H.R. 5143 would increase costs to the federal government by less than $500,000 over the 2025-2030 period.
