Bill overview
This bill restricts the District of Columbia’s ability to require review tribunals – such as courts or administrative boards – to accept the Mayor’s interpretation of laws and regulations. Specifically, it prevents tribunals from deferring to the Mayor’s understanding of statutes and rules when reviewing the Mayor’s decisions or agency regulations. The bill also repeals a recent temporary law that allowed for this type of deference. This legislation aims to ensure that legal interpretations are determined through established legal processes rather than relying on the Mayor’s judgment.
