PR 26-0429 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

District of Columbia Boards and Commissions Financial Reporting Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This emergency resolution amends a temporary law to clarify the effective date for financial reporting requirements affecting approximately 45 District of Columbia boards and commissions identified by the Board of Ethics and Government Accountability (BEGA). It moves the applicability date from January 1, 2026, to align with the temporary law's expiration on April 3, 2026, providing additional time for the Council to review permanent legislation (Bill 26-343). The resolution directly affects boards and commissions required to file annual financial disclosures under Section 5710 of District regulations. It does not change the reporting requirements themselves but adjusts the timeline to avoid a gap before permanent legislation is finalized.

MODERATE

The bill was renumbered from PR 26-0429 to PR 26-279 and reclassified from a Council resolution to an enrolled original version. The substantive content remains largely the same, focusing on declaring an emergency to clarify the applicability date for expanded financial reporting requirements for certain boards and commissions under DC regulations. The main changes are administrative formatting updates and citation clarifications rather than substantive policy modifications.

TECHNICAL

Bill number changed from PR 26-0429 to PR 26-279, indicating a different bill number in the legislative process.

Header formatting changed from 'Introduction' to 'Enrolled Original' status, indicating the bill has completed the legislative process and is ready for signature.

Section references updated from 'Section 5710 of Title 3' to include the specific regulation citation '(3 DCMR § 5710)' for clarity.

The Board of Ethics and Government Accountability (BEGA) authority citation was expanded to include the full legal reference (D.C. Law 19-124; D.C. Official Code 1-1161.01(47)(I)) for precision.

Bill 26-343 was replaced with Bill 26-325 in the permanent legislation reference, likely a correction to the actual bill number under review.
