Plain-language change summary

The updated version of the bill has been streamlined to focus on declaring an emergency that allows the Mayor to issue stop work orders to protect special and heritage trees. The language removing the "proposed" designation simplifies the bill's purpose, indicating that it has already been passed and is not just a suggestion. This change is important because it allows for immediate action to safeguard important trees in the District during the congressional review process, ensuring no gap in legal protections while the temporary legislation is pending.
