Health Occupations Revision Exemption Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025

This resolution temporarily exempts foreign-licensed healthcare professionals accompanying international sports teams (specifically for the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 in June 2025) from District of Columbia licensing requirements. It allows these medical staff - licensed in their home countries - to provide care exclusively to their team members and staff during the event. The exemption applies only to the specific tournament period and does not alter permanent licensing laws for other healthcare providers.

The document transitions from a draft legislative proposal to an enrolled (final) version of the resolution. The substantive policy content remains largely the same, but the document now includes official enrollment markings, updated formatting, and minor text corrections.

TECHNICAL

The document format changed from a draft letter and proposed resolution to an enrolled original version with official numbering (26-136) and date (June 3, 2025), indicating it has been formally processed by the Council.

Minor text corrections were made, including changing 'Federation Internationale de Football Association' to 'Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA)' with proper French accents and adding quotation marks around 'FIFA' for consistency.

Numerical formatting was standardized, changing 'three games played by five clubs' to '3 games played by 5 clubs' in the enrolled version for consistency with official document style.
