The Council of the District of Columbia has passed a resolution to amend its Rules of Organization and Procedure for Council Period 26, allowing for the transmission of the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget and Financial Plan during recess periods. This amendment specifically adds a provision that permits the introduction of several budget-related acts, including the Fiscal Year 2027 Local Budget Act and the Fiscal Year 2027 Budget Support Act, during any recess period.

The resolution is set to take effect immediately and will remain in effect until April 20, 2026. This change aims to ensure that the budgetary processes can continue without interruption, even when the Council is not in session.
