Fiscal Year 2026 Local Budget Act of 2025

This document is a budget submission (not a legislative bill) from Mayor Muriel Bowser for Fiscal Year 2026, titled "Grow DC." It addresses a projected $1 billion revenue shortfall due to federal job losses and economic shifts by focusing on economic growth, rightsizing spending, and maintaining key services. Key provisions include $171 million for Capital One Arena improvements, $2.8 billion for DC Public Schools, $30 million for MPD hiring, and $160 million for affordable housing through the Housing Production Trust Fund. The budget aims to support DC residents, businesses, and city services while balancing revenue constraints.

What changed between versions

Engrossment → Enrollment · 4 edits
MODERATE
The bill transitioned from an 'Engrossed' draft to an 'Enrolled' final version, incorporating specific corrections to the budget figures and legal citations. The most significant change is the update to the total budget cap and the breakdown of funding sources, reflecting the final amounts approved by Congress for the Federal Portion Budget. Additionally, a citation error regarding the Public-Private Partnership Act was corrected to ensure legal accuracy.
Scope change
The scope of the bill remains the adoption of the Fiscal Year 2026 local budget, but the specific financial limits and funding sources have been updated to match the final enacted federal budget.
FISCAL

The total budget cap was reduced from $22,055,414,360 to $22,034,524,408, and the specific allocation for federal payments was updated from $133,948,000 to $143,298,000 to reflect the final federal budget request.

The allocation for 'local funds' was adjusted from $12,065,960,244 to $12,041,393,772 to maintain the correct total after the federal payment update.

REQUIREMENT

The citation for the 'Fiscal Year 2026 Federal Portion Budget Request Act of 2025' was updated to indicate it has been passed and enrolled, rather than just introduced.

TECHNICAL

A legal citation error was fixed; the text was corrected to reference the Public-Private Partnership Act of 2014 instead of the 2015 Act.
