(a)(1) The official personnel record of a District employee shall be disclosed to the employee or any representative of his or her choice. All such disclosure shall be made in the presence of a representative of the agency having custody of the records. (2) The following information which may be in an official personnel record shall not be disclosed to any employee: (A) Information which has been received on a confidential basis from a person under an agreement that the identity of the source of the information will not be disclosed: Provided, however, that such information may be disclosed if all information identifying the source of the information is deleted in such a manner to positively preclude identity of the source; (B) Medical information, which, in the judgment of the employee’s physician would be injurious to the health of the employee, if disclosed; (C) Criminal investigative reports; (D) Suitability inquiries and confidential questionnaires undertaken in accordance with rights afforded under this chapter; and (E) Test and examination materials which may continue to be used for selection and promotion purposes: Provided, however, that the description of test and general results thereof shall be disclosed.

Prior to the removal of any information in the file, the employer shall notify the employee and give him or her an opportunity to be heard.  (Mar. 3, 1979, D.C. Law 2-139, § 3105, 25 DCR 5740.)

2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 1 - Government Organization|Chapter 7 - District of Columbia Employees Retirement Program Management|Subchapter I - Findings; Purpose; Definitions|§ 1-701. Findings; purpose

(a) The Congress finds that the retirement benefits authorized by various acts of Congress for the police officers, fire fighters, teachers, and judges of the District of Columbia have not been financed on an actuarially sound basis. Neither federal payments to the District nor District of Columbia appropriations have taken into account the long-term financial requirements of the District’s retirement programs. As a result, the annual budget cost to the District of Columbia for annuities and refunds of deductions is growing at a rapid rate, and, in the case of the retirement program for police officers and fire fighters, is predicted to exceed the cost of salaries for active police officers and fire fighters by the year 2000. (b) It is the purpose of this chapter: (1) To establish separate retirement Funds for police officers and fire fighters, for teachers, and for judges of the District of Columbia; (2) To establish a Retirement Board with responsibility for managing these Funds; (3) To require that these Funds be managed on an actuarially sound basis in order to provide proper financing for the benefits to which the District’s retired police officers, fire fighters, teachers, and judges are entitled; (4) To require that the Retirement Board comply with reporting and disclosure requirements similar to those imposed under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; and (5) To provide for federal payments to these Funds to help finance, in part, the liabilities for retirement benefits incurred by the District of Columbia prior to the establishment of self-government under the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.

(a)(1) The District of Columbia Retirement Board shall be the custodian of the assets of each Fund established by this chapter and shall manage and invest such assets in accordance with this chapter. Except as provided in paragraph (2) of this subsection, all assets in the possession or control of the Board shall be held in trust pursuant to a written trust instrument by 1 or more trustees appointed by the Board in its fiduciary capacity. Upon acceptance of the appointment, the trustee or trustees shall have authority and discretion to manage and control the assets assigned to it by the Board except to the extent that authority to manage, acquire, or dispose of assets of the Fund is retained by the Board or is delegated by the Board to 1 or more investment counsels pursuant to § 1-711(g)(1). (2) The requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection shall not apply to any assets of a Fund which consist of insurance contracts of policies issued by an insurance company qualified to do business in a state. (b) The assets of each Fund shall be kept separate from other moneys which may be under the control of the District of Columbia Retirement Board, but need not be kept separate from the assets of the other Funds if the Board determines that commingling of such assets is advisable for investment purposes. (c) The Board shall maintain, in an appropriate depository, a cash reserve for the Funds in an amount determined by the Board to be sufficient to meet current outlays for annuities and other retirement and disability benefits authorized to be paid from such Funds.
