The bill, titled the African American Civil War Museum Limited Grant-Making Authority Emergency 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 intended to support the museum located at 1925 Vermont Avenue, N.W.

To facilitate this grant, the bill amends Section 2032 of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development Limited Grant-Making Authority Act of 2012 by adding a new subsection (kk). This new provision allows the Deputy Mayor to bypass certain restrictions set by the Grant Administration Act of 2013, thereby enabling the grant to be issued for the specified purpose. The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with emergency legislation procedures.
