The Language Access Rulemaking Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 aims to amend 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, the bill 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 emergency legislation is intended to take effect immediately upon approval by the Mayor and will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, as stipulated by the Council's emergency act procedures. The bill also includes a provision that confirms its applicability retroactively to June 19, 2004, the original effective date of the Language Access Act.
