What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "District of Columbia Zoning Commission Home Rule Act," aims to change how the Zoning Commission for the District of Columbia is made up. The primary goal is to ensure the Commission consists only of members appointed by the Government of the District of Columbia. It achieves this by removing certain federal officials from the Commission's composition. The bill also includes a conforming amendment regarding the Board of Zoning Adjustment.
