Certified Business Enterprise Program Compliance and Enforcement Support Emergency Congressional Review Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to allow the immediate adoption of a law that updates rules for the District of Columbia's Certified Business Enterprise program. The bill directly affects the over 2,000 local businesses certified by the Department of Small and Local Business Development, which currently receive preference in government contracts. It establishes uniform hearing procedures to ensure fair and consistent enforcement actions when these businesses face complaints or revocation hearings. By bypassing the standard legislative review process, the measure ensures that these new enforcement rules remain in effect without interruption while a permanent version is being finalized.
