Public Hearing
Summary
The Strengthening Air Pollution Permitting Amendment Act of 2026 requires the District Department of Energy and the Environment to review permits within six months, respond to complaints quickly, and include stricter emission limits and community‑engagement provisions. It makes polluters ineligible for city contracts after repeated violations and expands civil enforcement so residents can sue for compliance. Funds collected from violations must be used first for remediation, monitoring, or air‑quality improvements in the most affected communities.
