The Defective Deed Recordation Clarification Amendment Act of 2025 amends the District of Columbia Code to clarify the validity of recorded instruments despite formal defects. It allows instruments recorded before the act's effective date to be challenged within six months, but does not affect those already validated by prior law. The act also repeals Section 499b and amends Section 499a to ensure instruments remain effective unless challenged in court. The act will take effect following approval by the Mayor or congressional review.
