Bill information
Summary
To amend the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to permit the District of Columbia to establish the rate of pay of the Chief Financial Officer of the District of Columbia.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change federal law to let Washington, D.C. set its own salary for its Chief Financial Officer instead of having Congress do it. The Chief Financial Officer is the top financial official who manages D.C.'s money and budgets. The bill amends the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, which is the federal law giving D.C. limited self-government powers. Currently, Congress controls D.C.'s CFO salary as part of its authority over the district. The bill is sponsored by D.C.'s representative Eleanor Norton and is in the introduction stage.
