B 25-1030 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

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

This temporary bill clarifies three specific definitions within existing District of Columbia laws to ensure consistency in how the Department of Energy and Environment interprets regulations. It updates the Retail Electric Competition and Consumer Protection Act to include government entities alongside Columbia law companies when defining subscriber organizations, corrects a unit of measurement error in the Lead-Hazard Prevention and Elimination Act by changing micrograms to milligrams, and adjusts the Sustainable Solid Waste Management Amendment Act to use the singular form for the word "manufactures." These changes directly affect how rules are applied to electric subscribers, lead paint assessments, and waste producers, with the amendments taking effect on various past dates and expiring 225 days after the bill becomes law.
