The Committee on Executive Administration and Labor convened on June 13, 2025, at 10:30 AM, chaired by Council Member Anita Bonds. The primary agenda item was the consideration of Bill 26-061, the Parity in Workers' Compensation Recovery Act of 2025.

Chairperson Bonds opened the meeting by noting the presence of a quorum, which included Council Members Janice Lewis George and Matthew Fruman. She indicated that the committee would not be discussing Bill 26-0060, the Initiative Amendment Act of 2025, as it was pulled from the agenda.

The Parity in Workers' Compensation Recovery Act aims to amend the District of Columbia's Workers' Compensation Act of 1979. Specifically, it seeks to ensure that receiving compensation from another state does not prevent an individual from claiming compensation under the District's law for the same injury or death. However, any award under the District's law would be reduced by the amount received from the other state.

This bill is a permanent version of a previously passed temporary amendment, Bill 25-0512, which had been unanimously approved by the council but expired in September 2024. Chairperson Bonds urged the committee to advance the bill to permanently codify its provisions.

Following her remarks, Council Member Bridal expressed support for the bill, thanking Chairperson Bonds for her efforts. After confirming there were no further discussions, Chairperson Bonds moved to approve the committee report for Bill 26-061, allowing for technical and conforming changes. The motion passed unanimously.

The meeting concluded shortly after, with Chairperson Bonds thanking the members for their participation. The session lasted approximately four minutes, wrapping up at 10:30 AM.
