This bill allows certain S corporations and partnerships (pass-through entities) in Washington D.C. to choose whether to pay District income tax at the entity level or have it paid on behalf of nonresident members. It directly affects S corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, and business trusts operating in D.C. The key mechanism lets entities elect to pay tax on their D.C.-derived income as a single entity (instead of members paying individually) or pay tax on behalf of nonresident members. Tax rates would apply to the entity's taxable income attributable to D.C. business, using the District's top individual and corporate tax rates.
This bill (B 26-0599) clarifies the role of the Fire & EMS Medical Director to explicitly oversee all clinical aspects of the District of Columbia's 911 call center (OUC), including dispatch protocols, quality assurance, and Continuous Quality Improvement programs. It also requires all OUC call takers and dispatchers to obtain Emergency Medical Dispatch (EMD) certification within one year of hire (or one year after the bill's effective date for current staff). The legislation directly affects OUC staff and aims to improve accuracy in emergency call responses - addressing past complaints about errors that led to injuries or fatalities. By codifying these requirements, the bill seeks to align OUC's accuracy standards with its recent gains in call response speed (98% answered within 20 seconds).
This bill modernizes Washington D.C.'s 911 emergency communication system funding by updating fees and clarifying how funds are used.

The legislation requires annual reporting and audits to ensure transparency, while mandating triennial fee reviews to account for inflation and system costs. These changes directly affect telecommunications providers (through updated fees) and residents (by improving emergency response reliability and technology).
This bill (B 26-0480, "Ensuring Access and Supporting Engagement (EASE) for DOC residents Act of 2025") requires the District of Columbia Department of Corrections (DOC) to enable incarcerated residents to testify at DC Council hearings.

Key provisions include codifying testimony rights, eliminating cost barriers for correspondence, and requiring DOC to establish policies for civic participation. The bill aims to extend full democratic engagement beyond voting rights, ensuring incarcerated residents can directly contribute to legislative discussions impacting their lives.
This bill amends the District of Columbia's bicycle transportation laws to require the Department of Transportation to engage with the community before building protected bike lanes, cycle tracks, or other similar infrastructure projects. The key mechanism involves sending notices to residents and local groups at least 60 days before construction begins, followed by a public hearing at an accessible time and location within 30 days of the start date. Affected neighbors and organizations can submit comments, and if the design changes significantly based on feedback, a second public comment period must be held. The bill also requires the department to give significant weight to resolutions from local Advisory Neighborhood Commissions and to keep all project records available for public review.
