The Holding School Budgets Harmless During Modernizations Amendment Act of 2025 amends the Schools First in Budgeting Amendment Act of 2022 to ensure that schools utilizing swing spaces due to on-site modernization or capital projects are not subject to budget reductions. This protection applies regardless of whether the Mayor or the Council is involved in the decision-making process. The act also adopts the fiscal impact statement from the committee report and will take effect following congressional approval.
