This bill expands the District of Columbia's Deferred Retirement Option Program (DROP) to include retirement-eligible correctional officers in the Department of Corrections (DOC). It allows these officers to continue working for up to three years after their normal retirement date while earning supplemental retirement benefits in a separate account, which they receive in full upon leaving service. The goal is to help DOC retain experienced staff and address persistent staffing shortages, as the department has faced vacancy rates exceeding 12% in recent fiscal years. This policy change directly affects DOC correctional officers who meet retirement eligibility requirements.
This bill requires the District's Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) to conduct a feasibility study by January 2026 identifying 20 specific locations - such as parks, roads, bike lanes, and private property - for installing solar canopies.

The bill mandates that the District's Capital Improvements Plan fund five solar canopy projects starting in fiscal year 2027, and authorizes DOEE to issue grants to private entities for similar projects. It directly affects the District government, which must implement the study and funding, and private property owners who may access grant support.
