On June 17, 2026, Mayor Muriel Bowser submitted a request to the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $673,434 of Fiscal Year 2026 Local Funds within the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). This reprogramming is necessary to address a shortfall in personnel services by redirecting surplus funds from non-personnel services (NPS) related to rent for the OAG headquarters. The funds will be allocated to cover personnel services, including salaries and fringe benefits, ensuring that the OAG can meet its planned expenditures without negatively impacting its budget or the District's financial plan.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, reviewed the Mayor's request and confirmed that the reprogramming aligns with the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980. The funds will be transferred from the Agency Management division to the Civil Litigation division, specifically to support the Civil Enforcement and Litigation sections. This action is deemed necessary to prevent a personnel service shortfall and is expected to have no adverse effects on the agency's operations or the District's overall budget.
