B 26-0697 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Department of Energy and Environment Reporting Requirements Amendment Act of 2026

This bill updates the reporting rules for the District of Columbia Department of Energy and Environment, requiring the agency to publish certain reports on its website instead of sending them directly to the City Council. Key changes include reducing how often some reports are submitted, such as switching from annual to biennial schedules for the Green Building Commission, and extending the time period covered by some reports from one year to two. The legislation also removes outdated or duplicate reporting requirements and adjusts deadlines to better align with when data is available. Ultimately, the bill aims to streamline administrative processes while maintaining public access to information about environmental programs and expenditures.
