The resolution, titled the Health Occupations Revision Exemption Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025, addresses the urgent need to amend the District of Columbia Health Occupations Revision Act of 1985. It seeks to exempt foreign health professionals from licensure requirements when they accompany foreign sports teams participating in athletic events in the District, specifically highlighting the FIFA Club World Cup 2025. This event will feature multiple games involving clubs from various countries, necessitating the presence of their own health professionals to provide medical care to team members and staff during their stay.

The Council of the District of Columbia recognizes the importance of allowing these foreign health professionals to continue their work without interruption, thereby ensuring the well-being of athletes during the competition. The resolution declares the situation as an emergency, allowing for the immediate adoption of the necessary amendments after a single reading, thus facilitating the provision of healthcare services by these professionals during the upcoming sporting events.
