Bill > B26-0308

This bill is a symbolic street designation act that proposes to rename a specific segment of 13th Street NW in Washington, D.C.'s Ward 4 as "The Jewels Way". The specific section of street being renamed is located between Upshur Street NW and Allison Street NW. The bill is being enacted under sections 401, 403a, and 423 of the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982, which provides legal framework for such street designations. The bill includes standard procedural provisions, such as adopting the fiscal impact statement from the committee report and specifying that the act will take effect after mayoral approval (or veto override) and a 30-day congressional review period, which is a standard requirement for District of Columbia legislation under the Home Rule Act. While the bill is purely symbolic and does not change the physical characteristics of the street, it represents a way to honor or commemorate something or someone significant to the local community.
