The Volunteer Services Clarification Congressional Review Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 amends the Volunteers Services Act of 1977 to clarify the authority of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia in relation to the use of volunteers. Specifically, the bill updates Section 3 of the Act by replacing the phrase "District of Columbia Board of Education" with "Office of the State Superintendent of Education, Attorney General for the District of Columbia." This change ensures that the Attorney General has the explicit power to establish regulations governing volunteer services.

The act is designed to take effect immediately upon approval by the Mayor, or if vetoed, through an override by the Council, and it will remain in effect for a maximum of 90 days as stipulated for emergency acts under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act. Additionally, the Council has adopted the fiscal impact statement from the Budget Director as required by legislative procedures.
