Bill > B26-0118

This bill amends the District of Columbia Official Code to waive various fees associated with the annual Capital Pride Parade, Festival, and Block Party. Specifically, the Mayor is required to waive fees for city services across multiple departments, including the Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection, Metropolitan Police Department, Alcoholic Beverage and Cannabis Administration, Department of Fire and Emergency Medical Services, Department of Health, Department of Public Works, and Department of Transportation. These waived fees cover a wide range of services such as special event user fees, permitting and monitoring inspectors, on-site monitoring, emergency medical services, food vendor inspections, clean-up and trash removal, traffic control, and flag installation. The bill explicitly notes that while these standard fees will be waived, any expediting fees or penalties incurred by the event host will still be charged. The legislation will take effect after mayoral approval, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register, demonstrating the standard process for enacting local legislation in Washington, D.C.
