Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to the Urban Forest Preservation Act allows the Mayor to issue stop work orders to protect Special and Heritage Trees when necessary. This means that if there are ongoing or imminent activities that threaten these important trees, the Mayor can immediately halt the work to prevent harm. This change is significant because it strengthens efforts to preserve urban greenery and ensure the protection of vital environmental resources in the District of Columbia.
