The proposed resolution aims to amend the Rules of Organization and Procedures for the Council of the District of Columbia to allow the Committee of the Whole to conduct official business during the Council's recess. Specifically, it permits the Committee to hold meetings to take official action on 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 earlier committees in the sequence of referred measures to hold their own meetings prior to the Committee of the Whole, with a requirement for 24-hour notice.

This amendment is set to expire on September 15, 2025, and is intended to enhance the efficiency of the Council's operations by enabling legislative actions to continue even during recess periods. The resolution is effective immediately upon passage.
