The Studio Theatre Tax Abatement Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the District of Columbia Official Code by updating the property tax exemption for Studio Theatre's housing used in support of its nonprofit activities. Specifically, the bill proposes to amend section 47-1082(a)(2) by deleting the phrase "Lot 0094, Square 179" and inserting "Lot 0058, Square 2664" to reflect the recent property acquisition by Studio Theatre. This change is necessary because the theatre sold its previous exempted property and purchased a new one to continue providing housing for its Apprentice Program, which supports early-career arts professionals.

By making this amendment, the legislation seeks to ensure that the tax exemption remains aligned with the original intent of supporting the theatre's nonprofit activities. The bill is introduced by Councilmembers Brooke Pinto, Brianne K. Nadeau, Anita Bonds, and Robert C. White, Jr., and follows a similar version introduced in the previous council period. The act will take effect after being approved by the Mayor and undergoing a congressional review period.
