Board of Dietetics and Nutrition Rachel Gabauer Confirmation Resolution of 2025
This is a procedural confirmation resolution, not a policy bill. It asks the Council of the District of Columbia to confirm Mayor Bowser's appointment of Rachel Gabauer to fill a vacant seat on the Board of Dietetics and Nutrition. The resolution specifically names Gabauer (a licensed dietitian from Ward 6) to serve the remainder of an unexpired term ending March 12, 2027. It does not create new laws or change existing regulations; it solely facilitates her appointment to the board.
