Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the
Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, Pub. L. No. 118-83, approved September

reprogram Fiscal Year 2025 Special Purpose Revenue funds budget authority in the amount of
$3,763,275 within the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). Budget authority is needed to align
the budget with the current approved spending plans.
This action will reprogram budget authority from the Agency Management division to the Office

701200C (Continuing Full Time – Others), 701400C (Fringe Benefits – Current Personnel), and
713100C (Other Services and Charges). Budget authority is available based on the original
appropriation but requires reallocation to support programmatic needs and requirements.

MEMORANDUM
TO: The Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs
FROM: Brian L. Schwalb, Attorney General
DATE: November 13, 2024
SUBJECT: Request for FY 2025 Reprogramming – Litigation Support Fund Structure
Correction
The Office of Attorney General (OAG) requests the reprogramming of $3,763,274.59 of
Litigation Support Fund (LSF) personal and nonpersonal services dollars to align funds with
OAG’s approved budget structure for FY 2025. Currently, there is a misalignment of program
codes 100151 and 500304. The reprogramming moves budget from 100151 (the incorrect
program code) to 500304 (the correct program code).
Why are the funds needed?
The reprogramming request is only to align the budget to the correct program code. The funds
support OAG’s litigation activities, broadly.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
Why are the funds available?
The funding was inadvertently budgeted in the incorrect program during FY 2025 development
and implementation.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If this reprogramming is not approved, FY 2025 expenditures will not align to the correct
program structure.
