A RESOLUTION
25-612
IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
September 17, 2024
To declare the existence of an emergency, due to congressional review, with respect to the need
to enact and amend provisions of law necessary to support the Fiscal Year 2025 budget.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, That this
resolution may be cited as the “Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support Congressional Review
Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2024”.
Sec. 2. (a) On June 25, 2024, the Council passed the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support
Emergency Act of 2024, effective July 15, 2024 (D.C. Act 25-506; 71 DCR 8406) (“Emergency
Act”), which enacted and amended provisions of law necessary to support the Fiscal Year 2025
budget and will expire on October 13, 2024.
(b) On June 25, 2024, the Council also passed the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support Act of
2024, enacted on July 26, 2024 (D.C. Act 25-550; 71 DCR 9990) (“Permanent Act”), which is
substantially similar to the Emergency Act. The Permanent Act was transmitted to Congress on
August 6, 2024.
(c) The congressional review period for the Permanent Act will create a gap in authority
between expiration of the Emergency Act and the effective date of the Permanent Act. This
congressional review emergency act is necessary to avoid that gap in the implementation of the
Fiscal Year 2025 Budget and Financial Plan.
Sec. 3. The Council determines that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute
emergency circumstances making it necessary that the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support
Congressional Review Emergency Act of 2024 be adopted after a single reading.
Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect immediately.
