Buzzard Point Park and Trails National Park Service Grant Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares a congressional review emergency to allow the District of Columbia Council to quickly pass a law authorizing grants over $1 million to the National Park Service for projects in the Buzzard Point neighborhood. The measure is designed to prevent a legal gap that would occur when an existing temporary funding authorization expires before a new, more permanent version of the bill can complete its required review period. By adopting the new amendment after a single reading, the Council ensures that funding for these park and trails projects remains uninterrupted.
