The Climate Commitment Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the District Department of the Environment Establishment Act of 2005 to clarify the restrictions on installing fossil fuel-burning systems. Specifically, the bill states that the prohibition on such installations does not apply to the replacement of components in existing space- or water-heating systems that utilize natural gas, oil, or other fossil fuels. This amendment aims to ensure that necessary repairs and replacements can be made without violating the existing restrictions.

The bill includes several specific changes to the legal language, such as altering the section heading to replace "appliances" with "systems" and modifying the text to reflect these changes. Additionally, a new provision is added to explicitly state that the restrictions do not apply to the replacement of components in existing heating systems. The act is set to take effect on January 1, 2025, and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days following approval by the Mayor or a Council override of a potential veto.
