Bill Summary
July 1, 2025 To declare the existence of an emergency with respect to the need to amend section 25-113 of the District of Columbia Official Code to continue the extension of the Streatery Program endorsements through December 31, 2025, and to clarify endorsement deadlines for certain classes of licensees; and to amend the Legalization of Marijuana for Medical Treatment Initiative of 1999 to make a clarifying amendment.
AI Summary
This emergency resolution aims to extend the Streatery Program, which allows licensed food and beverage establishments to sell alcoholic beverages in expanded outdoor spaces, through December 31, 2025. The resolution acknowledges that the District of Columbia passed temporary legislation in December 2024 and January 2025 to support this program, and notes that the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has proposed permanent rulemaking for the program. The Council determines that emergency circumstances exist to continue the program without interruption while permanent legislation is being developed. Additionally, the resolution seeks to clarify geographic requirements for medical cannabis license holders and applicants. By declaring an emergency, the Council can adopt the resolution after a single reading, allowing for immediate implementation to prevent any gaps in the Streatery Program's authorization and to provide clarity for businesses and cannabis licensees.
