Clean Hands Economic Expansion and Revitalization Amendment Act of 2025

This bill amends the Clean Hands Act to exempt occupational and business licenses from certification requirements starting October 1, 2025, directly affecting businesses seeking licenses under specific District code sections (e.g., §§ 47-2801-47-2853.224). It also increases the debt threshold from $100 to $2,500 for Clean Hands Act applicability, meaning larger debt obligations no longer trigger the certification process. The key changes simplify licensing for small businesses and reduce administrative barriers for debt-related compliance. These provisions aim to reduce regulatory burdens on local economic activity without altering the Act’s core purpose.
