STEER Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2026

This bill (B26-0583) amends the 2024 STEER Amendment Act to correct a technical error in its applicability clause regarding the District's Intelligent Speed Assistance Program. It specifically modifies Section 8(d) to clarify that the program applies as of the bill's effective date (February 3, 2026), ensuring the funding language accurately reflects the program's status. The amendment does not create new policy or affect other provisions; it solely corrects the original law's wording to align with the program's implementation timeline. This is a procedural clarification, not a substantive policy change.
