B 25-0900 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Certified Business Enterprise Program Compliance and Enforcement Support Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill amends the District of Columbia's Certified Business Enterprise Program to create clearer rules for handling complaints and enforcing regulations. It defines two types of complaints: formal ones that must be written, sworn, and notarized, and informal ones submitted via phone, email, or in person. The law requires the Department to investigate all complaints unless they are dismissed as frivolous, and it mandates that the Department issue a notice of determination before imposing penalties or changing a business's certification status. This notice must explain the reasons for the decision, any proposed penalties, and the steps the affected party can take to request a hearing.
