The CLEAN Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend Chapter 28 of Title 47 of the District of Columbia Official Code by prohibiting the issuance of licenses or permits to applicants who have unpaid fines resulting from notices of infraction issued by the Department of Buildings. Specifically, the bill introduces a new provision that states an applicant cannot owe the District $1,000 or more in past due fines, penalties, or interest related to such infractions.

To implement this change, the bill modifies existing legal language by amending paragraphs (8) and (9) of Section 47-2862(a) to adjust punctuation and structure, and it adds a new paragraph (10) that outlines the new financial requirement for applicants. This legislative measure is intended to ensure compliance with building regulations and promote accountability among those seeking licenses or permits in the District.
