Applicability of D.C. Law 22-112: § 7147 of D.C. Law 23-16 repealed § 4 of D.C. Law 22-112. Therefore the amendment of this section by D.C. Law 22-112 has been implemented.

Applicability of D.C. Law 22-112: § 4 of D.C. Law 22-112 provided that the change made to this section by § 3(a) of D.C. Law 22-112 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.
