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. Specifically, it amends Section 2112(b) of the Act by increasing the 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 apply as of October 1, 2024, and will take effect following approval by the Mayor or, if vetoed, through a Council override. It is designed as an emergency act and will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days, in accordance with the provisions for emergency legislation outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
