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 at least 48 hours' notice to the public regarding the meeting details and the measures to be discussed. Additionally, it allows other committees to meet and take action on sequentially referred measures prior to the Committee of the Whole's meeting, as long as they also provide appropriate 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 will take effect immediately upon its passage.
