Chairman Mendelson introduced two bills at the Regular meeting of the Committee of the Whole on July 14, 2015. 

Council Financial Disclosure Amendment Act of 2015

This bill modifies the District’s Ethics Act to clarify and strengthen the financial disclosure requirements as they relate to the Council.  Creating bright lines in the law the legislation will increase compliance, and bolstering the requirements for the financial disclosure will make the information obtained more meaningful.

Building Service Employees Minimum Work Week Act of 2015

This bill would require a minimum 30-hour workweek for janitorial and building maintenance workers in office buildings over 350,000 sq. ft.  This will allow these workers to access employer-based healthcare and enable them to earn sufficient income without working multiple jobs.
