Closing of a Public Alley in Square 5051, S.O. 21-00136, Second Emergency Act of 2024

This emergency bill orders the closure of two specific sections of a public alley in Northeast Washington, D.C., transferring ownership of that land to the adjacent property owners. The closing is conditional upon Washington Gas meeting certain requirements and will take effect on October 24, 2024. Additionally, the legislation amends a local tax code section to clarify that bills involving specific tax exemptions must be considered for a final reading by the Council rather than being skipped entirely. The act is designed to streamline the process for non-general tax abatement bills and remains in force for a maximum of 90 days.
