MODERATE

The bill was renumbered from 26-0784 to 26-485 and reclassified as an 'Enrolled Original' version, indicating it has passed its final legislative stages. The text was reformatted to fix a grammatical error ('a the' to 'at the') and updated the citation title to reflect it is the 'Second' amendment of the year. Substantively, the bill adds a temporary rule allowing the University of the District of Columbia to request budget modifications for Fiscal Year 2026 between July and September 2026 and authorizes a specific committee to hold three roundtables on elections and campaign finance during that same period.
