The Subcontracting Requirements Exemption for Contracts for Health Benefits for District Employees Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Small and Certified Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005. This legislation extends the timeline for providing compliant subcontracting plans specifically for contracts related to health benefits for District government employees and their families. The amendment adds a new provision stating that a subcontracting plan must be submitted prior to the commencement of the performance of the plan year. Additionally, it allows bids or proposals that do not include a subcontracting plan to be considered responsive if they are submitted in response to solicitations for health benefits contracts.
This act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency provisions outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The bill includes a fiscal impact statement adopted from the Chief Financial Officer, ensuring that the financial implications of the amendment are acknowledged.
