The Public Service Commission Holdover Period Extension Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 aims to extend the holdover period for commissioners of the Public Service Commission. Specifically, it amends the existing law by adding a new subparagraph that allows a commissioner to serve in a holdover capacity for up to 270 days after the expiration of their term, notwithstanding previous limitations set forth in the law. This change is intended to provide continuity in the commission's operations during transitional periods.

The act will take effect upon approval by the Mayor and is designed as an emergency measure, remaining in effect for no longer than 90 days. This legislative action reflects the Council's recognition of the need for flexibility in the appointment process for commissioners to ensure that the Public Service Commission can function effectively without interruption.
