PR 25-0886 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to allow the District of Columbia Council to pass the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support Act after a single reading rather than the usual two. The measure is designed to ensure that time-sensitive provisions necessary for the upcoming fiscal year are enacted before the October 1 start date, giving government agencies time to prepare for implementation. By treating the budget support measures as urgent, the bill streamlines the legislative process to meet critical financial deadlines without changing the actual budget policies themselves.
