Section 7187 of D.C. Law 24-45 repealed section 5 of D.C. Law 23-201 removing the applicability provision impacting this section. Therefore the amendment of this section by Law 23-201 has been implemented.
Applicability of D.C. Law 23-201: § 5 of D.C. Law 23-201 provided that the change made to this section by § 2(a) of D.C. Law 23-201 is subject to the inclusion of the law’s fiscal effect in an approved budget and financial plan. Therefore that amendment has not been implemented.
