The Public Service Commission Holdover Period Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend existing law regarding the holdover period for commissioners of the Public Service Commission. Specifically, it introduces a new subsection (c) to paragraph 97(a) of section 8 of the appropriations act from 1913, allowing commissioners to serve in a holdover capacity for up to 270 days after their term expires. This change overrides previous limitations set forth in subsection (a) and the Confirmation Act of 1978.

The bill includes a fiscal impact statement adopted from the Budget Director and outlines its effective date, which is contingent upon approval by the Mayor and a subsequent 30-day congressional review period. Additionally, the act is designed to expire 225 days after it takes effect, ensuring that the extension is temporary and subject to review.
