Green Finance Authority Board Jennifer Wade Confirmation Resolution of 2026

This bill is a confirmation resolution that formally approves Jennifer Wade's appointment to the Green Finance Authority Board in the District of Columbia. The resolution confirms her role as a board member with expertise in clean energy, clean infrastructure, clean transportation, stormwater management, or green infrastructure, filling a vacant seat for the remainder of an unexpired term ending July 9, 2028. The bill requires the Council to transmit a copy of the resolution to both the nominee and the Mayor upon adoption. This is a procedural measure that facilitates the appointment process rather than creating new policy or funding mechanisms.

Introduction → Enrollment · 4 edits

MODERATE

The document changed from a Mayor's nomination letter and draft resolution to an enrolled (final) version of the resolution. The primary substantive change is a correction to the legal citation, updating the enabling statute from section 203 to section 201 of the Green Finance Authority Establishment Act of 2018. The nominee's name was also standardized to 'Jennifer Wade' throughout the text.

Scope change

The scope of the bill remains unchanged; it still confirms the appointment of Jennifer Wade to the Green Finance Authority Board for the remainder of an unexpired term ending July 9, 2028.

TECHNICAL

The legal citation for the enabling statute was corrected from section 203 to section 201 of the Green Finance Authority Establishment Act of 2018.

The nominee's name was standardized to 'Jennifer Wade' in the resolution text, replacing the 'Ms. Jennifer Wade Naylor Road' format found in the draft.

The Mayor's nomination letter, biographical summary, and signature block were removed as they are no longer part of the final enrolled resolution.

The document header was updated to indicate the bill is 'ENROLLED' and includes the final resolution number 26-440.
