District of Columbia State Athletics Commission Barbara Jones Confirmation Resolution of 2026
This bill confirms Barbara Jones as a voting member of the District of Columbia State Athletics Commission, filling a vacant seat for the remainder of an unexpired term ending in November 2028. The resolution follows a nomination by Mayor Muriel Bowser and requires confirmation by the Council of the District of Columbia in accordance with existing confirmation procedures. Once adopted, the Council will transmit a copy of the resolution to both the nominee and the Mayor, and the confirmation takes effect immediately. The bill does not change the commission's structure or powers but rather appoints an individual to an existing position.

MINOR
This is a confirmation resolution for Barbara Jones's appointment to the D.C. State Athletics Commission. The transition from Introduction to Enrollment removed all supporting documentation (mayor's nomination letter, biographical resume, and legal sufficiency memo) and retained only the final resolution text. The substantive change in the resolution itself is minor: the phrase 'filling a vacant seat formerly held by Kevin Willis, for the remainder of an unexpired term' was simplified to just 'for a term to end November 7, 2028.'
TECHNICAL
The resolution text removed the reference to the predecessor (Kevin Willis) and the phrase 'remainder of an unexpired term,' simplifying the language to simply state the term ends November 7, 2028.
A resolution number (26-373) and adoption date (March 31, 2026) were added to the enrolled version.
All supporting materials from the introduction package were removed: the mayor's nomination letter, Barbara Jones's full biographical resume, and the Office of the General Counsel legal sufficiency certification memo.
