The "Subcontracting Requirements Exemption for Contracts for Health Benefits for District Employees Temporary Amendment Act of 2025" aims to amend the Small and Certified Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005 by adding a new subsection (d)(4) to D.C. Official Code 2-218.46. This new provision allows for an extension of the time frame in which compliant subcontracting plans must be submitted for contracts providing health benefits to District government employees and their families. Specifically, it states that such plans must be provided prior to the commencement of the plan year, and bids or proposals lacking a subcontracting plan may still be considered responsive if they are submitted in response to relevant solicitations.

The legislation is designed to facilitate the procurement process for health benefits contracts by providing more flexibility regarding subcontracting plans. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor, following a 30-day congressional review period, and will expire 225 days after its enactment. This temporary amendment reflects the Council's intent to streamline the contracting process for health benefits while ensuring that necessary compliance measures are still in place.
