District of Columbia Chief Financial Officer Salary Home Rule Act

Law

This bill would let Washington, D.C. set the pay rate for the city’s Chief Financial Officer in D.C. law.
It also keeps a protection for the person in the job: once their pay is set, it can’t be cut while they’re still serving as CFO.
The CFO’s pay would have to be at least as high as a top federal pay limit (whichever is higher: that limit or the D.C.-set amount).
For most people, this won’t change daily life directly, but it affects how D.C. recruits and keeps the official who oversees the city’s finances.
