Clean Hands Certification Economic Expansion and Revitalization Amendment Act of 2023

This bill modifies the District of Columbia's Clean Hands Act to exempt certain occupational and business licenses from the requirement of obtaining a Clean Hands Certification. Specifically, it removes this certification mandate for licenses issued under various sections of the Official Code starting October 1, 2024. Additionally, the legislation raises the debt threshold for the Clean Hands Act from $100 to $2,500, allowing individuals with debts up to the new limit to remain eligible for certification. These changes aim to reduce administrative barriers for small business owners and workers while adjusting the financial criteria for the certification program.
