Rodent Abatement and Transparency (RAT) Amendment Act of 2025

This bill requires DC Health to create a public dashboard by January 2027 showing rodent population data, treatment locations, and trends filtered by neighborhood (Ward/ANC/SMD), and submit a progress report to the Council by March 2027. It increases fines for property owners liable for rodent issues, allowing the District to charge up to triple the cost of corrective actions. The bill also mandates that trash enforcement teams notify neighborhood commissions before removing residential litter cans and refer trash violations with visible rodent activity to DC Health for coordinated action. These provisions directly affect property owners, DC Health, and neighborhood commissions by improving accountability, data transparency, and inter-agency coordination for rodent control.
