What This Bill Does

  • Sets a new start date so that expanded financial reporting requirements do not apply before April 3, 2026.

Who It Names or Affects

Terms To Know

District of Columbia Municipal Regulations

A change to a law that lasts only for a short time; this act expires automatically after 225 days of being effective.
