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

This bill temporarily clarifies the rules for the District Department of the Environment, allowing the Mayor to create regulations without sending them to the City Council for a 45-day review period. It changes existing law to use the word "may" instead of "shall" when describing the Mayor's authority to issue these rules and removes the requirement for Council review entirely. The changes apply retroactively to July 29, 2021, and will remain in effect for 225 days before expiring. This measure streamlines the rulemaking process for the department while limiting the duration of the adjustment.
