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

This bill clarifies three specific definitions within District of Columbia laws to ensure consistency in how regulations are applied. It updates the definition of a subscriber organization in the Retail Electric Competition Act to include government entities that own electricity providers, corrects a unit of measurement for lead-based paint in the Lead-Hazard Prevention Act from micrograms to milligrams, and fixes a grammatical error in the Sustainable Solid Waste Management Act regarding the term producer. These changes directly affect the Department of Energy and Environment, utility companies, property owners, and waste management entities by ensuring the legal standards they follow are clear and accurate. The legislation is an emergency amendment that will remain in effect for 90 days after approval.
