Department of Energy and Environment Definitions Clarification Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024

This resolution declares an emergency to amend three District of Columbia laws and clarify specific definitions within them. It updates the Retail Electric Competition and Consumer Protection Act to explicitly include government entities as "subscriber organizations," ensuring the Department of Energy and Environment can continue managing solar credit assignments for low- to moderate-income residents. The bill also corrects a typo in the Lead-Hazard Prevention and Elimination Act by fixing an incorrect unit symbol in the definition of lead-based paint and amends the Sustainable Solid Waste Management Amendment Act to fix a spelling error in the definition of "producer." These changes aim to prevent legal confusion and ensure the Department of Energy and Environment can properly administer its programs without interruption.
