PROPOSED RESOLUTION IN THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
To declare the existence of an emergency with
respect to the need to approve the recommendations of the Health Care System Development
Commission.
RESOLVED, BY THE COUNCIL OF THE DISTRICT OF
COLUMBIA, That this resolution may be cited as the "Health Care System Development
Commission Recommendations Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2000".
Sec. 2. (a) There exists an immediate crisis
regarding action on the Health Care System Development Commission Resolution. The
Commission completed work on February 26, 2000 and submitted its recommendations to the
Mayor. No action has been taken by Council on those recommendations, in part, due to a
scheduling delay on the part of the Council’s Committee on Human Services. The
Commission’s report is in the process of being published and distributed. The resolution
is an important component of this report. Therefore, it is critical that this resolution
undergo an expedited review process.
(b) It is vital that the Council act to affirm
the resolution.
Sec. 3. The Council of the District of
Columbia finds that the circumstances enumerated in section 2 constitute emergency
circumstances making it necessary that the Health Care Development Commission
Recommendations Emergency Approval Resolution of 2000 be adopted on an emergency basis.
Sec. 4. This resolution shall take effect
immediately.
