Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Support Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution declares an emergency to expedite approval of the Fiscal Year 2026 Budget Support Act of 2025. It allows the Council to pass the budget support bill after a single reading (rather than the usual process) due to time-sensitive provisions needing implementation before October 1, 2025. The resolution directly affects District government agencies and stakeholders preparing to implement the FY2026 budget, ensuring key measures are in place ahead of the fiscal year start. It does not change the budget content but enables faster procedural approval.
