Bill > PR26-0288

This emergency resolution declares the immediate need to symbolically rename a section of Alabama Avenue, SE (between Hartford Street, SE and Gainesville Street, SE) as "Rev. Dr. Judy Talbert Way" in the District of Columbia. The emergency legislation is designed to allow the District Department of Transportation to quickly install street signage before a community celebration honoring Rev. Dr. Judy Talbert's life, and to expedite the process before the permanent legislation completes its standard 30-day congressional review period. The City Council finds the circumstances urgent enough to adopt the resolution after a single reading, with the resolution taking effect immediately upon passage. The emergency act is specifically tied to Bill 26-280, which was adopted on final reading on July 28, 2025, and aims to recognize and commemorate Rev. Dr. Judy Talbert through this symbolic street designation.
