CLPA List of Upcoming DC Area Legislative Meetings (November 3-November 7)

Happy Monday!! After a long break, we are back!

Each week, we break down the latest in local governance, offering a clear, accessible look at the policies, plans, and proposals that matter most. Whether you're an engaged resident, elected official, or just curious about how your government works, our report keeps you in the know. It's a quiet week since several legislative bodies are on recess, but take a moment to explore the key legislative actions and stay ahead of the issues driving change in your county.

CLPA will provide continual updates throughout the week on any new developments here, on X (formerly Twitter): @LocalPolicyCTR, and on Facebook @localpolicycenter.

District of Columbia

DC Council

The DC Council will hold a legislative meeting this week at noon tomorrow. At the session, they will discuss the Green Housing Coordination Emergency Amendment Act of 2025 (B26-0374) and the Juvenile Curfew Second Emergency Amendment Act of 2025.

Introduced by Councilmember Robert White, the Green Housing measure aims to improve coordination among District agencies to promote sustainable housing development and accelerate environmentally responsible construction projects. The Juvenile Curfew measure, sponsored by Councilmember Brooke Pinto, extends and refines the city’s curfew policies for minors in response to ongoing public safety and youth welfare concerns. Both acts were passed on an emergency basis to allow immediate implementation while longer-term legislation proceeds through the standard review process.
