The Volunteer Services Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Volunteers Services Act of 1977 to clarify the authority of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia regarding the use of volunteers. Specifically, it updates Section 3 of the Act 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 has explicit regulatory authority over volunteer services.
The bill includes a fiscal impact statement adopted from the Budget Director and outlines that it will take effect upon approval by the Mayor or, if vetoed, through a Council override. The act is designed as an emergency measure and will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days, in accordance with the provisions for emergency acts in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
