2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 50 - Motor and Non-Motor Vehicles and Traffic|Chapter 6 - Installment Sales of Motor Vehicles|§ 50-609. Additional authority granted to Mayor

The authority and power vested in the Mayor by any provision of this chapter shall be deemed to be additional and supplementary to authority and power now vested in him, and not as a limitation.  (Apr. 22, 1960, 74 Stat. 73, Pub. L. 86-431, § 10.)  Prior Codifications 1981 Ed., § 40-1109. 1973 Ed., § 40-909. Change in Government This section originated at a time when local government powers were delegated to a Board of Commissioners of the District of Columbia (see Acts Relating to the Establishment of the District of Columbia and its Various Forms of Governmental Organization in Volume 1). Section 401 of Reorganization Plan No. 3 of 1967 (see Reorganization Plans in Volume 1) transferred all of the functions of the Board of Commissioners under this section to a single Commissioner. The District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, 87 Stat. 818, § 711 ( D.C. Code, § 1-207.11), abolished the District of Columbia Council and the Office of Commissioner of the District of Columbia. These branches of government were replaced by the Council of the District of Columbia and the Office of Mayor of the District of Columbia, respectively. Accordingly, and also pursuant to § 714(a) of such Act ( D.C. Code, § 1-207.14(a)), appropriate changes in terminology were made in this section.

2021 District of Columbia Code|Title 50 - Motor and Non-Motor Vehicles and Traffic|Chapter 7 - Alternative Fuels Technology|§ 50-701. Policy

(a) It is the policy of the District of Columbia (“District”) government to promote, protect, and preserve a safe and healthy living environment for its inhabitants. (b) It is in the best interest of District residents that the District government pursue, as other municipalities have, both domestic and international, a comprehensive plan for the development and implementation of specific goals and timetables for the improvement of local air quality through the exploration, demonstration, procurement, and utilization of passenger and nonpassenger motor vehicles powered by clean alternative fuels. (c) The integration of alternative fuels technology in the transportation element of the nation’s capital should include, at the very least, aggressive participation by the District government fleet, commercial transportation fleets, and the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (“WMATA”). (d) Section 246 of the Clean Air Act requires that the District develop a state implementation plan revision that manages harmful emissions from motor vehicles by establishing a clean fuel fleet program that is consistent with federal law and regulations. As part of a multi-jurisdiction ozone nonattainment area encompassing portions of the District and the states of Maryland and Virginia, the District must implement a clean fuel fleet program.  (Mar. 8, 1991, D.C. Law 8-243, § 2, 38 DCR 355; Mar. 14, 1995, D.C. Law 10-201, § 2(a), 41 DCR 7178.)  Prior Codifications 1981 Ed., § 40-2001.
