Fiscal Year 2025 Local Budget Act Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to allow the District of Columbia Council to pass the Fiscal Year 2025 local budget using a simplified single-reading process. The measure is necessary because the standard 30-day congressional review period for the budget will not finish before the fiscal year begins on October 1, 2024. By approving this emergency declaration, the Council ensures that the budget and financial plan for the upcoming year become effective on time without waiting for the full legislative timeline.
