The Cherry Blossom Festival Grant Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 is a legislative measure aimed at making a technical correction to the Fiscal Year 2025 Budget Support Act of 2024. Specifically, it amends Section 2112(b) of the existing law by increasing the allocated grant amount for the National Cherry Blossom Festival from $1 million to $1.5 million. This adjustment is necessary due to congressional review and is intended to ensure adequate funding for the festival.

The act is set to take effect on October 1, 2024, following approval by the Mayor or, in the case of a veto, an override by the Council. It is designed as an emergency measure and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the provisions for emergency acts outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The Council has also adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Budget Director as part of the legislative process.
