Science Advisory Board Mark Mogle Confirmation Resolution of 2025
This resolution confirms Mayor Muriel Bowser's nomination of Mark Mogle to serve on the Science Advisory Board, filling a vacant seat previously held by Eugene Lien. It directly affects the Mayor's office (which made the nomination) and the Council of the District of Columbia (which must approve the appointment under District law). The resolution is procedural - it does not create new policies but finalizes the appointment for the remainder of an unexpired term ending April 18, 2028. The Science Advisory Board, established under the Department of Forensic Sciences Establishment Act of 2011, provides expert guidance on forensic science matters.

MINOR
The document was converted from a Mayor's nomination letter and draft resolution into an enrolled, final legislative resolution. The substantive content regarding the appointment of Mark Mogle to the Science Advisory Board remained consistent, though the text was reorganized to remove the biographical section and formalize the resolution language.
Scope change
The bill's scope and applicability did not change; it remains an appointment confirmation for one individual.
TECHNICAL
Removed the cover letter from Mayor Muriel Bowser and the detailed biographical information (education, experience, and affiliations) of the nominee.
Added the 'Enrolled Original' header and the bill number (26-169), indicating the document has passed all legislative stages.
Reformatted the resolution text to remove line breaks and adjust phrasing slightly to match standard enrolled legislative formatting.
