To prohibit the District of Columbia from requiring tribunals in court or administrative proceedings in the District of Columbia to defer to the Mayor of the District of Columbia's interpretation of statutes and regulations, and for other purposes.

This bill would bar the District of Columbia from requiring tribunals in DC courts or in DC administrative proceedings to defer to the Mayor’s or the Mayor’s agencies’ interpretations of statutes or regulations they administer. In practical terms, reviewing tribunals—whether in court or in administrative review processes—would not be obligated to defer to the Mayor’s or agency’s interpretation. The bill also repeals a temporary emergency measure enacted in 2024 (the Review of Agency Action Clarification Temporary Amendment Act, DC Law 25-290) and restores the law as it existed prior to that act.
