Office of District Waterways Management Establishment Emergency Amendment Act of 2025

This bill amends the 2022 Office of District Waterways Management Establishment Act and the Confirmation Act of 1978 to update the structure and operations of the District Waterways Advisory Commission. It standardizes the Mayor’s appointment process for commission members to match other similar commissions, adds the Department of Parks and Recreation as a non-voting ex-officio member, and changes meeting frequency from monthly to every two months. The bill also extends the required update period for the Advisory Plan from annually to at least every three years, while clarifying the process for public engagement and plan revisions. These changes aim to streamline commission operations and improve stakeholder collaboration for managing District waterways.
