The Fiscal Year 2026 Local Budget Act of 2025 establishes a budget of $22,034,524,408 for the District of Columbia government, covering various funding sources such as local funds, federal grants, and Medicaid payments. The act includes provisions for adjusting appropriations based on federal payments and allows for the reprogramming and transfer of funds under specific conditions. It allocates funds across multiple departments, including public safety, education, and infrastructure, while ensuring that certain funds, such as those for the Emancipation Day Fund and the Housing Production Trust Fund, remain available for expenditure until September 30, 2026. Notably, the act prohibits the obligation of funds for the Mayor's Arts Awards and mandates compliance with the redevelopment act for expenditures related to the RFK campus.

Additionally, the bill introduces restrictions on nonpersonnel services funds during budget delivery delays and allows local funds to cover expenses for District government attorneys seeking professional credentials in other jurisdictions. It allocates significant amounts for public safety and justice, education, and infrastructure projects, with specific provisions for funding initiatives like the Access to Justice Initiative and the Special Education Transportation agency. The act also establishes mechanisms for increasing local funds based on revenue estimates and creates reserve accounts for fiscal stabilization, ensuring effective management and allocation of resources throughout the fiscal year. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval and a 30-day congressional review period.
