The "Subcontracting Requirements Exemption for Contracts for Health Benefits for District Employees Emergency 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 timeline in which compliant subcontracting plans must be provided for contracts related to health benefits for District government employees and their families. Specifically, it states that the subcontracting plan must be submitted prior to the commencement of the performance of the plan year, and bids or proposals lacking a subcontracting plan may still be considered responsive if they are submitted in response to a solicitation for health benefits.

This legislation is presented as an emergency measure, indicating the urgency of the changes it proposes. The Council is urged to act promptly on this bill to ensure that the necessary adjustments to the subcontracting requirements are implemented effectively for the benefit of District employees and their families.
