Freedom to Petition the Government Act
This bill amends the District of Columbia Code to clarify that nonprofit organizations holding meetings with federal officials (including Members of Congress or government employees) do not count as "doing business" in the District. It specifically adds this activity to the list of non-business activities under D.C. law (Section 29-105.05(a)(11)). The change directly affects nonprofit organizations that regularly engage with federal government representatives. The policy shift removes potential regulatory barriers for these groups when meeting with federal officials in D.C.
