First Responders Facilities Modernization Act of 2026

The First Responders Facilities Modernization Act of 2026 creates a structured process to update and maintain facilities for the District's police and fire departments. It requires the Mayor to establish a new office dedicated to developing a comprehensive 10-year plan for these buildings, which must be reviewed and approved by the City Council every five years. This plan will use specific data, such as crime rates, call volumes, and neighborhood growth, to decide which facilities need repairs or upgrades first. Additionally, the law mandates that the Mayor submit a revised plan within 180 days if the Council rejects the initial proposal.
