The Council Period 26 Second Recess Rules Amendment Resolution of 2025 amends the Rules of Organization and Procedures for the Council of the District of Columbia to allow the Committee of the Whole to take official action during the Council's recess. Specifically, it permits the Committee to hold meetings to consider measures, provided that they give public notice at least 48 hours in advance, including details about the meeting and the measures to be discussed. Additionally, it allows other committees to hold meetings on sequentially referred measures prior to the Committee of the Whole's meeting, as long as they also provide appropriate notice.

This amendment is temporary and will expire on September 15, 2025, ensuring that the Council can continue its legislative work even during recess periods. The resolution takes effect immediately upon its passage, facilitating a more efficient legislative process during the specified timeframe.
