PR 26-0056 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Transfer of Jurisdiction Over the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Emergency Approval Resolution of 2025

This bill approves the transfer of jurisdiction over the Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus (approximately 177 acres) from the National Park Service to the District of Columbia. The transfer is required by the federal D.C. Robert F. Kennedy Memorial Stadium Campus Revitalization Act (approved January 6, 2025), which mandates completion within 180 days. This resolution allows the District to control the waterfront property for redevelopment, including housing, jobs, parks, and recreational facilities along the Anacostia riverfront. The District already leases the land from the National Park Service, and this transfer enables expanded uses permitted by federal law.

What changed between versions

Introduction → Enrollment · 2 edits
MINOR
The document changed from a Mayor's letter introducing a proposed resolution to the final enrolled version of the resolution itself. The content and substantive provisions remain identical, but the format shifted from a letter with attachments to a formal legislative resolution with an enrolled original designation. This represents the bill's progression through the legislative process rather than a policy change.
TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a Mayor's cover letter introducing a proposed resolution to the final enrolled resolution text itself, including the addition of an enrolled original designation and removal of the Mayor's signature block and enclosures.

The Attorney General's legal counsel memorandum was replaced with the enrolled resolution header, indicating the bill has been formally adopted and enrolled for final passage.
