Council Period 25 Recess Rules Amendment Resolution of 2024

This resolution amends the District of Columbia Council's rules to allow emergency budget legislation to be introduced and considered even when the legislative body is in recess. It also creates a special window from July 15 to September 15, 2024, during which requests to modify budgets for specific federal grant funds can be submitted and counted toward deadlines. These provisions specifically apply to grant money received by the University of the District of Columbia or funds identified by the Chief Financial Officer as coming from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act or the Inflation Reduction Act. The changes are set to expire on September 15, 2024, and are intended to provide flexibility in managing urgent budget adjustments related to these federal programs.
