The Volunteer Services Clarification Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Volunteers Services Act of 1977 to grant the Attorney General for the District of Columbia the authority to establish regulations regarding the use of volunteers. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 3 of the original 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 clarifies the role of the Attorney General in relation to volunteer services.
The act is set to take effect upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the emergency provisions outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Additionally, the Council has adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Budget Director as required by legislative procedures.
