Votes at a glance: Committee approves two BID amendment reports to move to Council
Summary
The Committee on Business and Economic Development voted by voice to approve draft committee reports for Bill 20-6247 (Anacostia BID expansion) and Bill 20-6421 (Soul of the City BID), each moved with leave for staff to make technical edits; detailed tallies were not recorded in the transcript.
At its December 17, 2025 additional meeting, the Committee on Business and Economic Development approved committee reports in print for two Business Improvement District bills and moved both onward to the Council process.
Bill 20-6247 (Anacostia Business Improvement District Amendment Act of 2025) was moved with leave for staff to make technical, editorial and conforming changes and approved by voice vote; the print includes language that any expanded geographic area is not effective until the Council approves the expansion. Bill 20-6421 (Soul of the City Business Improvement District Amendment Act of 2025) was similarly moved with leave for staff to make technical, editorial and conforming changes and was approved unanimously by voice vote; the Committee shortened the boundary description to square-and-lot numbers and revised the applicability date to 04/01/2026 at the OCFO's recommendation to allow the Office of Tax and Revenue time to implement the BID tax. The transcript records voice votes and Chair announcements of passage but does not provide numeric tallies.
