The Rev. A. Knighton Stanley Way Designation Act of 2025 aims to symbolically designate Iowa Avenue, NW, between Arkansas Avenue, NW, and 13th Street, NW, as Rev. A. Knighton Stanley Way. This designation is made pursuant to the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982, which provides the legal framework for such actions.

The bill includes a fiscal impact statement that has been adopted from the committee report, fulfilling the requirements of the General Legislative Procedures Act of 1975. The act will take effect after receiving approval from the Mayor, or following a Council override of a potential veto, and after a 30-day congressional review period as stipulated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
