The Volunteer Services Clarification Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend the Volunteers Services Act of 1977 by clarifying the authority of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia to establish regulations regarding the use of volunteers. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 3 of the existing law by replacing the phrase "District of Columbia Board of Education" with "District of Columbia Board of Education, Attorney General for the District of Columbia." This change ensures that the Attorney General is explicitly recognized as having the authority to govern volunteer services alongside the Board of Education.
The bill includes a fiscal impact statement adopted from the Budget Director and outlines its effective date, which is contingent upon approval by the Mayor and a subsequent 30-day congressional review period. The act is designed to be temporary, expiring 225 days after it takes effect.
