District of Columbia Public Defender Service Technical Correction Act
HR 8483 corrects a technical error in the 2024 federal funding law for the District of Columbia Public Defender Service (DC PDS). It removes a specific reference to $3 million reserved for relocation costs (until September 2026) that was incorrectly included in the funding allocation. This bill does not change funding amounts or policies - it only fixes a misplaced text in the existing law. The correction applies retroactively to the original appropriations act.
