The Subcontracting Requirements Exemption for Contracts for Health Benefits to District Employees Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Small and Certified Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005. This bill extends the timeline for providing compliant subcontracting plans specifically for contracts related to health benefits for District government employees and their families. A new provision allows that a bid or proposal lacking a subcontracting plan may still be considered responsive if it is submitted in response to a solicitation for these health benefits, provided that the subcontracting plan is submitted before the performance of the plan year begins.
The bill includes a temporary amendment to Section 2346(d) of the existing law, adding a new paragraph (4) that outlines these changes. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and after a 30-day congressional review period, but it is set to expire 225 days after its enactment. The fiscal impact statement associated with this act has been adopted from the Chief Financial Officer's assessment.
