Purpose; definitions.
Section 1-207.38 provides that the Council shall, by act, divide the District of Columbia into neighborhood commission areas and establish, for each such area, an Advisory Neighborhood Commission. Such § 1-207.38 was to be effective only if a majority of the qualified electors voting in the charter referendum voted for the establishment of the Advisory Neighborhood Commissions. In the charter referendum a majority of the qualified electors did vote to establish such Commissions, and it is the purpose of this part to implement the provisions of § 1-207.38. Repealed. For the purposes of this part, the term: “Board” means the District of Columbia Board of Elections and Ethics. “Commission” means Advisory Neighborhood Commission. “Emergency” means an action taken to immediately preserve the public peace, health, safety, welfare, or morals pursuant to § 2-505(c). “Gender identity or expression” shall have the same meaning as provided in § 1-1401.02(12A).
