Plain-language change summary

The amendment to the Volunteers Services Act of 1977 specifies that the Attorney General for the District of Columbia has clear authority to create rules regarding the use of volunteers. Previously, the language mentioned the Board of Education, which has been updated to include the Attorney General in the context of volunteer regulations. This change is significant as it clarifies the roles and responsibilities in managing volunteer services, ensuring that there is proper oversight and consistency in how volunteers are utilized by the Attorney General’s office.
