Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

One-time $2.95 million payment to Verizon

The District approves changes to Contract CW94742 with Verizon. It authorizes payment up to $2.95 million for goods and services already received and still to come. The law uses emergency authority and bypasses the usual step in section 202 of the Procurement Practices Reform Act. This is a one-time payment. The money goes to Verizon, not to households.

Emergency law lasts up to 90 days

This emergency law is now in effect. Under D.C. law, it lasts no more than 90 days. It makes the approval and payment authority immediate, but only for this short period.
