The Department of Energy and Environment Rulemaking Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the District Department of the Environment Establishment Act of 2005. The bill clarifies that the Mayor has the discretion to promulgate rules and regulations by changing the language from "shall" to "may." Additionally, it eliminates the requirement for all rules and regulations to be submitted to the Council for a 45-day active review period, thereby streamlining the rulemaking process.

This act is intended to take effect immediately upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, as stipulated for emergency acts by the Council of the District of Columbia. The bill reflects a shift towards greater executive authority in environmental rulemaking, allowing for more efficient governance in response to urgent environmental issues.
