The Targeted ANC 8A Moratorium Zone Amendment Act of 2026 aims to establish a designated area within the District of Columbia, specifically the Targeted ANC 8A Moratorium Zone, and impose restrictions on the number of off-premises retailers holding class A or B licenses within this zone. The bill defines the boundaries of the Targeted ANC 8A Moratorium Zone in detail and stipulates that the number of class A licenses shall not exceed three, while class B licenses shall be limited to one. However, these restrictions will not apply to off-premises retailers that operate as full-service grocery stores, hotels, restaurants, or taverns.

Additionally, the bill grants the Mayor the authority to issue rules for implementing these provisions, which must be submitted to the Council for a 30-day review period. If the Council does not take action during this time, the proposed rules will be automatically approved. The bill includes a fiscal impact statement and outlines the process for its effective date, which requires approval by the Mayor and a subsequent congressional review period.
