The Language Access Rulemaking Temporary Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Language Access Act of 2004 by granting the Office of Human Rights the authority to adopt rules and regulations necessary for the implementation of the act. Specifically, it adds a new subsection (c) to Section 6 of the Language Access Act, which mandates that the Mayor issue rules to implement the provisions of the act in accordance with the District of Columbia Administrative Procedure Act.
This temporary amendment will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and a subsequent 30-day congressional review period, and it is set to expire 225 days after its enactment. The bill also includes a fiscal impact statement adopted from the Budget Director, ensuring that the financial implications of the amendment are acknowledged.
