“Oversight of Implementation of the Pay for Success Contract Authorization Act of 2014”

Council Chairman Phil Mendelson announces a public hearing of the Committee of the Whole on Bill 20-595, the “Public-Private Partnership Act of 2013.”  The public hearing will be held Thursday, June 12, 2014, at 1:00 p.m. in the Council Chamber of the John A. Wilson Building, 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW. This notice has been revised in an abbreviated manner to include the addition of an oversight issue pursuant to Council Rule 421(c)(3).
