Mayor Muriel Bowser has submitted a request to the Council of the District of Columbia to reprogram $1,010,000 of Fiscal Year 2027 Local Funds within the Office of the Attorney General (OAG). This reprogramming is necessary to correct the program attributes associated with the Council-approved funding for the Domestic Workers and Workers Rights grant programs, which were previously recorded under an incorrect program structure. The reprogramming will allocate $260,000 to the Domestic Workers Grant and $750,000 to the Workers Rights Grant, ensuring that the budget aligns with the intended program structure.

The Chief Financial Officer, Glen Lee, has reviewed the Mayor's request and confirmed that the reprogramming will not adversely impact the OAG's budget or the District's financial plan. The funds are already available due to prior Council approval, and this action will simply correct the allocation without requesting additional funding or establishing new programs. The reprogramming is essential to avoid discrepancies in budget execution and reporting, and it is expected to proceed without any negative impact on the availability of the restored funding.
