The Volunteer Services Clarification Congressional Review 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 is explicitly recognized as having the authority to promulgate regulations governing volunteer services.
The bill is enacted on an emergency basis, requiring approval from the Mayor or a Council override in the event of a veto, and it will remain in effect for no longer than 90 days. Additionally, the Council has adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Budget Director as required by the General Legislative Procedures Act of 1975.
