The proposed resolution, titled the "Kaiser Foundation Health Plan of the Mid-Atlantic States, Inc. Health Benefits Contract Emergency Approval Resolution of 2025," seeks the Council of the District of Columbia's approval for a multiyear contract with Kaiser Foundation Health Plan. This contract, estimated at $806,032,713.45 for a five-year term, aims to provide and administer fully insured health benefits to District employees, their dependents, and retirees, in alignment with the D.C. Employees Health Benefits Program. The resolution emphasizes the urgency of the situation, indicating that timely approval is necessary to ensure the District can access these essential health services.

The resolution outlines that the Office of Contracting and Procurement, on behalf of the Department of Human Resources, is proposing this contract as the only viable means to secure the required health benefits. It declares the existence of an emergency, allowing for the resolution to be adopted after a single reading, thereby expediting the approval process. The Mayor, Muriel Bowser, has urged the Council to act promptly on this legislation, and her administration is available for any inquiries regarding the proposed contract.
