The proposed bill includes a modification to Contract No. CW108186 with the See Forever Foundation, which aims to exercise the second option year of the contract to provide educational services to eligible residents of the DC Department of Corrections under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. The modification allocates a not-to-exceed amount of $4,243,160 for the period from August 5, 2025, to August 4, 2026, following previous funding amounts of $4,000,000 for the base year and $4,018,746 for the first option year. The modification also confirms the Foundation's compliance with the Citywide Clean Hands database, ensuring no outstanding tax liabilities, and the Office of the Chief Financial Officer has certified the availability of funding for this option year.

Additionally, the bill proposes updates to the Living Wage Act of 2006, establishing a living wage rate of $17.50 per hour effective January 1, 2025, which will increase to $17.95 per hour on July 1, 2025. It mandates that subcontractors receiving significant government funds adhere to the same wage requirements and clarifies the definition of "affiliated employee." The bill outlines exemptions from the Living Wage Act for certain contracts and employees, and it establishes monitoring and enforcement mechanisms through the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement. Overall, the bill aims to ensure fair compensation and compliance with wage standards for workers engaged in government contracts and assistance programs.
