Deadline Accountability Amendment Act of 2025

This bill modifies the District of Columbia's Freedom of Information Act to require government agencies to disclose documents they were legally required to submit by a specific deadline if that deadline passes without submission. It prevents agencies from using "deliberative process privilege" (a common reason to withhold documents) to avoid sharing such overdue materials in response to public records requests. Agencies may request a 30-day deadline extension with justification, but if the Council doesn't act within that period, the extension is automatically denied. The bill directly affects District government agencies responsible for submitting reports, studies, or records by mandated dates.
