Bill > B26-0463

This bill, the Judith Heumann Memorial Workers with Disabilities Act of 2025, aims to amend the District of Columbia Public Assistance Act of 1982 to create a new program called the District Workers with Disabilities program. This program will allow individuals with disabilities who are employed and meet certain eligibility requirements to enroll in Medicaid, which is a government health insurance program for low-income individuals and families. The bill also outlines the process for when the provisions of the act will become effective, requiring approval by the Mayor, a potential override of a mayoral veto by the Council, and a 30-day period for congressional review.
