Bill > B26-0335

This bill amends the Volunteer Services Act of 1977 to explicitly include the Attorney General for the District of Columbia among the entities authorized to promulgate regulations governing volunteer services. Specifically, the bill modifies Section 3 of the original act by adding the phrase "Attorney General for the District of Columbia" alongside the existing mention of the District of Columbia Board of Education. The bill is an emergency act, which means it will take effect upon mayoral approval and remain in force for a maximum of 90 days. The purpose appears to be to clarify and expand the regulatory authority over volunteer services, ensuring that the Attorney General has the legal power to create and implement regulations related to volunteer programs within their office. The bill follows standard legislative procedures, including a fiscal impact statement and a provision for its temporary emergency status.
