First Source Recognition Resolution of 2024

This ceremonial resolution honors the 40th anniversary of the First Source Program, a local hiring initiative that gives priority to District residents for jobs created by government-funded projects. The bill itself does not change any laws or policies; instead, it formally acknowledges the existing mandate requiring contractors to hire a specific percentage of local workers depending on the size and type of the project. While the resolution mentions the program's goals of reducing unemployment and building community ties, it serves only as a commemorative statement and does not alter how the First Source requirements are implemented.
