Soul of the City Business Improvement District Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2026

This bill creates the Soul of the City Business Improvement District in Washington, D.C., by adding it to the existing list of authorized districts under the city's Business Improvement Districts Act. The legislation establishes a specific geographic boundary defined by numerous property lots and authorizes the collection of taxes from businesses and property owners within that area starting April 1, 2026. The district's formation and the imposition of taxes are subject to final approval by the Mayor, and the measure is designated as an emergency amendment to bypass potential congressional review delays.
