Department of Energy and Environment Rulemaking Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2024

This bill clarifies that the District of Columbia Mayor has the authority to create rules for the Department of Energy and Environment without needing a mandatory 45-day review period from the City Council. By changing the language from "shall" to "may" and removing a specific submission requirement, the law streamlines how the department implements its existing statutes. The measure is designed to take effect immediately and remains in force for only 90 days, reflecting its status as an emergency amendment to existing environmental regulations.
