Plain-language change summary

The revised bill now emphasizes that the District of Columbia Housing Authority (DCHA) must adhere to the District’s procurement laws, rather than focusing solely on approving specific procurement regulations submitted by DCHA. This change is important because it clarifies DCHA's responsibilities and ensures they follow the same procurement standards as other governmental entities, promoting transparency and accountability in how public funds are used.
