Bill > B26-0383

This bill amends the Volunteer Services Act of 1977 to explicitly add the Attorney General for the District of Columbia to the list of entities authorized to use and regulate volunteers. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing provision by inserting the phrase "Attorney General for the District of Columbia" alongside the existing reference to the District of Columbia Board of Education. The bill is an emergency act, meaning it will only be in effect for up to 90 days, and it requires approval by the Mayor (or approval by the Council if the Mayor vetoes it). The purpose appears to be to clarify and formally grant the Attorney General the legal authority to develop regulations for volunteer programs within their office. The bill includes a standard fiscal impact statement adopting the Budget Director's assessment and follows the procedural requirements for emergency legislation in the District of Columbia.
