This bill (B 26-0192) allows licensed DC businesses (like restaurants, bars, and event venues) to extend alcohol sales and service hours until 4 a.m. for cultural, sporting, or tourism events. To participate, venues must register with the ABC Board ($100 fee), provide 3 days' written notice of the event, and comply with safety notifications to police.

This bill requires landlords and property owners (referred to as "providers") to maintain any rent payment plans agreed upon with eligible tenants between March 11, 2020, and July 25, 2022, due to pandemic-related financial hardship. It prohibits providers from charging fees, interest, or penalties for these plans, reporting rent as delinquent to credit bureaus, or evicting tenants who comply with the plan during the covered period. The law directly affects residential tenants and small commercial tenants (occupying less than 6,500 sq. ft.) who entered payment agreements during the pandemic, ensuring they retain lease rights and access to online/phone application processes. Landlords must approve applications demonstrating pandemic hardship and cannot deny plans based on pre-pandemic payment issues.

The changes directly affect D.C.'s pretrial detention system and the Council's reporting obligations to the Mayor and Congress. The bill does not alter pretrial detention policies themselves but ensures existing rules remain in effect and clarifies when required reports must be submitted.
