The Consumer Protection Clarification Amendment Act of 2025 amends Chapter 39 of Title 28 of the District of Columbia Official Code to specify that the District government is not considered a merchant under the District's consumer protection law, with the exception of its role in landlord-tenant relations as it pertains to the District of Columbia Housing Authority. The bill clarifies the definition of "merchant" to exclude the District and its agencies, while still allowing for the application of landlord-tenant provisions to the Housing Authority's activities.

Specifically, the bill modifies the definition of "merchant" in subsection (a)(3) to state that it does not include the District of Columbia or its agencies, and it amends subsection (e) to confirm that the landlord-tenant provisions apply to the Housing Authority's activities as a landlord. The changes are retroactively applicable, with section 2(a) effective from June 12, 2007, and section 2(b) from December 19, 2016. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period.
