Commission on Re-Entry and Returning Citizen Affairs Ricardo W. Sheppard Confirmation Resolution of 2024

This bill is a confirmation resolution that formally approves Rev. Ricardo W. Sheppard as a voting member of the District of Columbia's Commission on Re-Entry and Returning Citizen Affairs. The legislation fills a vacant seat on the commission, which is responsible for advising the city on policies that help individuals reintegrate into society after incarceration. By confirming Sheppard for a term ending in August 2027, the Council enables him to participate in the commission's work and voting decisions. The bill also requires the Council to send a copy of the resolution to the nominee and the Mayor's office once it is adopted.
