Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Submission Requirements Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution changes the deadline for the Mayor to submit the Fiscal Year 2026 budget from April 2, 2025, to May 15, 2025. It directly affects the Mayor (who must submit the budget) and the Council (which needs to review it), due to delays caused by slower revenue growth and a $1 billion budget cut from Congress. The resolution cites these financial challenges as the reason for the new date, aiming to provide the Council and public with clearer scheduling certainty for budget consideration. It is classified as an emergency measure requiring only a single reading for approval.

MINOR
The document appears to be a formatting and numbering correction rather than a substantive policy change. The text content remains essentially the same, with the main differences being line number reorganization, removal of draft markings, and addition of 'ENROLLED ORIGINAL' headers indicating this is the final enrolled version of the resolution.
TECHNICAL
Line numbering and formatting were reorganized to reflect the enrolled version of the resolution, with draft markings removed and official enrollment headers added.
The resolution title and citation were slightly adjusted from 'A PROPOSED RESOLUTION' to 'A RESOLUTION' to reflect its official status.
Section references were updated to include proper resolution numbers (Res. 25-740; 71 DCR 15826) and corrected year references (2024 instead of 2025 for the original resolution).
