Bill > B26-0420

This bill requires the Mayor of the District of Columbia to ensure that all local education agencies provide student identification cards to middle school and high school students by January 5, 2026. The student identification cards must include four specific pieces of information: the school's name, the school year, the student's name, and a photo of the student. The bill includes a standard fiscal impact statement adopting the committee report's financial assessment and specifies that the act will take effect after mayoral approval (or Council override of a potential mayoral veto) and after a 30-day congressional review period, which is a standard procedural requirement for legislation in Washington, D.C. due to its unique governmental status as a federal district with congressional oversight.
