(June 5, 2018, D.C. Law 22-111, § 2, 65 DCR 4278.)
Section 7033 of D.C. Law 22-168 repealed § 10 of D.C. Law 22-111 removing the applicability restriction impacting this section. Therefore the creation of this section by D.C. Law 22-111 has been given effect.
Applicability of D.C. Law 22-111: § 10 of D.C. Law 22-111 provided that the creation of this section by § 2 of D.C. Law 22-111 is subject to the inclusion of the law’s fiscal effect in an approved budget and financial plan. Therefore that amendment has not been implemented.
