MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                       Nyasha Smith, Secretary to the Council

               

FROM:        Phil Mendelson, Chairman

                                                               

DATE:                 October 1, 2020

 

RE:                       Congressional Review Emergency Measures for the October 6, 2020 Legislative Meeting

 

This memorandum is to request the following measures be placed on the agenda for the October 6, 2020 Legislative Meeting:

 

§  Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Support Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2020

§  Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Support Congressional Review Emergency Act of 2020

 

            D.C. Act 23-404, the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Support Emergency Act of 2020, will expire October 26, 2020.  Although permanent legislation was passed by Council, that measure must go through a 60-day congressional review period.  The congressional review emergency (CRE) is necessary to prevent a gap in legislative authority.  The CRE reflects the provisions of Act 23-404, as updated by Bill 23-908, the Fiscal Year 2021 Budget Support Clarification Emergency Act of 2020.
