B 26-0205 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Industrial Revenue Bond Forward Commitment Program Amendment Act of 2025

The Industrial Revenue Bond Forward Commitment Program Amendment Act of 2025 removes a $850 million cap on the total value of industrial revenue bonds the District can issue and shortens application review times from 30 to 10 days. It also broadens the program to cover more types of development projects, including those authorized under the Home Rule Act. These changes aim to help businesses and developers in the District secure financing faster for industrial, commercial, and other eligible projects. The bill directly affects organizations seeking bond-funded development and streamlines the District's revenue bond approval process.
