Science Advisory Board Nicole Roehm Confirmation Resolution of 2024
This resolution confirms the appointment of Ms. Nicole Roehm to the Science Advisory Board, a group that provides expert guidance on forensic science matters in the District of Columbia. The bill officially recognizes her role as an independent forensic scientist, ensuring she is not currently employed by the District's law enforcement or forensic agencies. Her appointment is set to last until April 18, 2026, and the resolution must be sent to both the nominee and the Mayor's office once adopted. This procedural action finalizes her position within the existing framework established by the Department of Forensic Sciences Establishment Act of 2011.
