The bill also outlines specific exemptions from the Living Wage Act, including contracts subject to higher federal wage determinations and certain employee categories, while ensuring enforcement by the Department of Employment Services and the D.C. Office of Contracting and Procurement. Overall, the modification updates compliance requirements while maintaining the original contract's framework.
