“Sec. 2a. This act [D.C. Law 14-231] shall apply as of October 1, 2004.”

Applicability
Section 7002 of D.C. Law 22-33 repealed § 4 of D.C. Law 17-352. Therefore the changes made to this section by D.C. Law 17-352 have been implemented.
Section 4 of D.C. Law 17-352 provided that section 2(a)(1)(C) shall apply upon inclusion of its fiscal effect in an approved budget and financial plan.
The Budget Director of the Council of the District of Columbia has determined, as of February 15, 2012, that the fiscal effect of section 2(a)(1)(C) of Law 17-352 has not been included in an approved budget and financial plan. Therefore, the provisions of this section, enacted by Law 17-352, are not in effect.
Emergency Legislation
