MEMORANDUM

 

TO:                      Nyasha Smith, Secretary to the Council

               

FROM:               Phil Mendelson, Chairman

                                                               

DATE:                June 8, 2023

 

RE:                       Request to Place Emergency BSA on the Agenda for the June 13, 2023 Legislative Meeting

 

Please place the following measures on the agenda for the June 13, 2023 Legislative Meeting:

 

▪        Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Support Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2023

▪        Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Support Emergency Act of 2023

 

Also to be considered is Bill 25-202, the permanent version of the Budget Support Act.  Bill 25-203, the Fiscal Year 2024 Local Budget Act of 2023, was adopted on final reading by the Council on May 30, 2023.  Necessary for that legislation are several time-sensitive provisions that must be in place prior to the October 1, 2023 applicability date.  These time-sensitive provisions are included in Bill 25-202, the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Support Act of 2023 (FY24 BSA), which will be approved on final reading June 13, 2023.  The attached draft emergency measure would make those time-sensitive provisions applicable prior to October 1.  Other provisions in the emergency bill will retain the October 1, 2023, applicability date as provided in the permanent legislation, but should be enacted prior to October 1 to allow agencies and stakeholders to prepare for implementation. 

 

This draft emergency reflects the engrossed FY24 BSA. A finalized emergency bill that reflects the FY24 BSA Amendment in the Nature of a Substitute will circulate prior to the meeting.

 

Drafts of the proposed measures are attached.
