The bill, titled the African American Civil War Museum Limited Grant-Making Authority Temporary Amendment Act of 2025, authorizes the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development to issue a grant to the African American Civil War Memorial Freedom Foundation, Inc. for the redevelopment of the African American Civil War Museum. This grant is specifically designated for Fiscal Year 2025 or 2026 and is made possible by an amendment to the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Limited Grant-Making Authority Act of 2012. The new subsection (kk) allows this grant to be issued notwithstanding the existing Grant Administration Act of 2013.
The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register. It is set to expire 225 days after its enactment, ensuring that the grant-making authority is temporary and specifically tied to the redevelopment project.
