The Seasonal Pricing and Price Gouging Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend Title 28 of the District of Columbia Official Code to introduce a seasonal pricing model that protects consumers from price gouging. The bill specifies that for the calendar year 2026, the normal average retail price for rental vehicles will be based on the average price from the same week of the same month in 2025. For subsequent years, the average price will be determined by the same week of the same month from the previous year. Additionally, the bill defines the "Washington Metropolitan Area" in accordance with the United States Census Bureau's definition.

Furthermore, the bill modifies the enforcement provisions related to price gouging violations. It replaces references to section 28-4102(a) with section 28-4102(a) or 28-4102.01, and establishes that when the Office of the Attorney General initiates a civil action for violations, the maximum penalty authorized will be applied for each violation. This legislative change is intended to enhance consumer protection during public health emergencies by making such emergencies a triggering event for the prohibition against price gouging.
