Bill > PR26-0516

This resolution declares an emergency situation in the District of Columbia, necessitating immediate action to correct a technical issue within the "Fraudulent Vehicle Tag and Parking Enforcement Modernization Amendment Act of 2024" (D.C. Law 25-325). This earlier law, passed in December 2024, aimed to improve parking enforcement by addressing fraudulent or obscured vehicle tags and prioritizing the removal of abandoned or dangerous vehicles. While the fiscal impact of this law, estimated at $10 million, was largely funded in the Fiscal Year 2026 budget, certain provisions, including those requiring the Mayor to create rules by specific deadlines, are still incorrectly listed as being "subject to appropriations," meaning their implementation is contingent on future funding even though funds are already secured. This emergency resolution is therefore needed to ensure that all funded parts of the 2024 law can be put into effect promptly within the fiscal year they are funded, allowing for the timely implementation of these parking enforcement improvements.
