This section is referenced in § 2-1411.03, § 32-131.01, and § 32-131.04.
Applicability of D.C. Law 21-264: § 301 of D.C. Law 21-264 provided that the change made to this section by § 202 of D.C. Law 21-264 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.
The reference in (10) to “ 20 U.S.C. 2891(12)” is obsolete and should now read “ 20 U.S.C. 8801(18).”.
