RE:           Congressional Review Emergency Measures for the July 13, 2021 Legislative Meeting

 

The following measures are placed on the agenda for the July 13, 2021 Legislative Meeting:

 

§  Coronavirus Public Health Extension Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2021

Coronavirus Public Health Extension Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2021

 

            D.C. Act 24-97, the Coronavirus Public Health Extension Emergency Amendment Act of 2021, will expire August 17, 2021.  Although identical temporary legislation was approved by the Council (D.C. Act 24-99), its congressional review is pending.  A congressional review emergency is necessary to prevent a gap in legislative authority.
