DC budget emergency keeps services running

The Council declares an emergency so it can pass the FY 2026 DC budget after one reading. The emergency act takes effect immediately and is time‑limited. It is not subject to congressional review. It lets the FY 2026 budget and financial plan be in place before October 1, 2025, while the regular budget finishes review. This avoids a funding gap and keeps city programs and services operating.
