Volunteer Services Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution declares an emergency to prevent a legal gap between two temporary laws affecting the District of Columbia's Volunteer Services Act. It ensures the Attorney General for the District maintains authority to regulate volunteer use during a transition period, specifically between the expiration of the "Volunteer Services Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025" (effective until November 9, 2025) and the implementation of the "Temporary Amendment Act." The resolution does not change the law itself but authorizes immediate adoption to avoid disruption in oversight of volunteer programs. It directly affects the District's Attorney General and their ability to manage volunteer-related regulations.

MINOR
This document shows a formatting and version change between two versions of the same legislative bill (PR 26-0334). The primary change is the conversion from a draft introduction format to an enrolled (final) version with updated page numbering and formatting. The substantive content of the resolution remains unchanged, though some text references were updated to reflect that the Council 'passed' rather than 'adopted' certain acts, and the temporary act date was clarified as October 7, 2025.
