Public Service Commission Term Holdover Extension Temporary Amendment Act of 2026
This bill temporarily extends the time commissioners of the District of Columbia Public Service Commission can continue serving after their terms end. It allows these officials to remain in their roles for up to 270 days past their appointment expiration date, rather than leaving office immediately. The change is set to expire automatically after 225 days once it takes effect, ensuring the extension is only temporary. This provision applies specifically to the Public Service Commission and does not affect other government agencies.

The substantive policy text regarding the extension of the Public Service Commission commissioner holdover period to 270 days and the expiration timeline remains unchanged.
