Council of the District of Columbia

Committee of the Whole

1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW

Washington, DC 20004

 

MEMORANDUM      

 

 

TO:                      Nyasha Smith, Secretary to the Council

                

FROM:              Phil Mendelson, Chairman

                                                           

DATE:                April 30, 2020

 

RE:                       Request to Place Measures on the Agenda for the May 5th Legislative Meeting

 

 

               This memorandum is to request that the following measures be placed on the May 5th legislative meeting agenda:

 

  • COVID-19 Liability Clarification Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2020
  • COVID-19 Liability Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2020
  • COVID-19 Liability Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2020

 

 

               These measures clarify civil liability provisions for an entity that donates goods to the District.  The bill as adopted on April 20, 2020 inadvertently left out the word “donation” in describing the applicability of the provision.
