Plain-language change summary

The recent amendment to the Certificate of Assurance Moratorium Congressional Review Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025 designates the bill as "emergency legislation" to ensure there is no gap in the law regarding rent stabilization certificates while awaiting congressional action. This is crucial because it allows the Council to maintain a moratorium on these certificates until the new law takes effect. By declaring this emergency, the Council ensures that protections for tenants remain in place during a critical transition period.
