The Certified Business Enterprise Program Compliance and Enforcement Support Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Small and Certified Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005 to enhance the certification process for local business enterprises. Key changes include the requirement that businesses applying for certification must be "independently owned and operated," ensuring they manage their operations without external control. The bill also introduces new definitions, such as "formal complaint" and "informal complaint," to clarify the types of grievances that can be filed with the Department. Additionally, it revises the performance requirements for certified joint ventures, stipulating that each participating enterprise must perform a percentage of work that corresponds to its ownership interest.

Furthermore, the bill establishes uniform procedures for handling complaints and enforcement actions. It allows for both formal and informal complaints to be filed, mandates investigations by the Department, and outlines the process for issuing civil penalties or revoking certifications. The Department is required to maintain records of all formal complaints and their outcomes. The act also includes provisions for summary suspensions in cases where a business poses an imminent danger to public health or safety, ensuring swift action can be taken. The legislation is temporary, set to expire 225 days after its enactment, and will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a congressional review period.
