Budget & Taxes (Audits & Accountability)

This bill strengthens accountability for tax incentives in Washington, D.C. by ensuring developers receive public benefits only if they meet their commitments and establishing clear rules to recapture funds from projects that fail to deliver. It requires the cancellation of eligibility for Office-to-Anything projects that do not begin repositioning in a timely manner and redirects unused tax abatement authority to the Home Purchase Assistance Fund to help residents buy homes. The legislation also improves oversight by mandating more frequent reviews of tax expenditures and requiring the District to publish a regional economic competitiveness dashboard and comparative fiscal analysis for major bills. These changes aim to ensure public investments generate meaningful returns while prioritizing homeownership opportunities for District residents.
