The Volunteer Services Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend the Volunteers Services Act of 1977 to clarify the authority of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia regarding the use of volunteers. Specifically, the bill proposes to replace the phrase "District of Columbia Board of Education" with "District of Columbia Board of Education, Attorney General for the District of Columbia" in Section 3 of the existing law. This change is intended to ensure that the Attorney General has the explicit power to establish regulations governing volunteer services.

The bill is presented as an emergency measure, necessitating congressional review, and will take effect upon approval by the Mayor or, if vetoed, through an override by the Council. It is designed to remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days, in accordance with the provisions for emergency acts outlined in the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. The fiscal impact statement associated with the bill has been adopted from the Budget Director's assessment.
