Georgetown University Revenue Bonds Project Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This bill authorizes the District of Columbia to issue up to $675 million in tax-exempt revenue bonds for Georgetown University's campus projects, without the District assuming financial liability. The bonds will refund previous District bonds used to fund specific university projects, including a new science center at 3700 O Street, renovations at law center facilities, and technology upgrades across multiple campus locations. The resolution explicitly states the District will not be liable for repayment, as the bonds are "without recourse to the District" and do not constitute a debt or pledge of the District's credit. This is a financing mechanism for Georgetown University, not a new public policy or service.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from a draft version to an enrolled (official) version, with minor text corrections and formatting adjustments. The substantive policy content, including funding amounts, project scope, and eligibility criteria, remains unchanged between the two versions.
TECHNICAL
Text was reformatted from a draft document with Mayor's signature block to an enrolled official resolution format, removing signature elements and adding enrollment markings.
Minor text corrections were made, such as changing 'pmiion' to 'portion' and updating 'Res. 18-0660' to 'Res. 18-660' for consistency.
Formatting adjustments were made to address line breaks and spacing, particularly in the detailed list of facility locations and renovation items.
