The following measure is placed on the July 9^th legislative meeting agenda:

 

• Council Period 25 Recess Rules Amendment Resolution of 2024

 

A recess rules resolution is typically adopted by the Council prior to its summer recess.  This measure would make the following changes to the Council’s Rules:

 

First, it allows the Executive to transmit an emergency version of the Fiscal Year 2025 Local Budget Act of 2024 that was recently adopted by the Council, should emergency legislation be necessary if the permanent measure will not complete Congressional review prior to October 1, 2024.

 

Second, it allows the Executive to transmit to the Council during recess grant budget modifications to allow for the University of the District of Columbia to accept and spend any federal grants and to allow the Executive to accept and spend any federal grants that come in as a result of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or the Inflation Reduction Act.  This rule is for the 2024 recess only.

 

The draft measure is attached.  Please call me or Mr. Evan Cash if you have any questions at (202) 724-7002.
