The "Certified Business Enterprise Program Compliance and Enforcement Support Emergency Amendment Act of 2025" aims to enhance the effectiveness of the District's Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Program by amending several sections of the Small and Certified Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005. Key amendments include establishing uniform hearing procedures for enforcement actions, clarifying definitions of critical terms, reinstating previously lapsed provisions related to local business enterprise tests, and adjusting performance requirements for certified business enterprises in joint ventures.

Notable changes include the introduction of new definitions such as "independently owned and operated," which specifies that a business must manage its operations without external control, and the establishment of procedures for filing formal and informal complaints. The bill also outlines the process for investigating complaints and the conditions under which a business's certification may be suspended or revoked. These amendments are designed to ensure better compliance and enforcement of CBE laws, ultimately supporting local businesses in the District.
