This subchapter shall be liberally construed and applied to promote its underlying purposes and policies.

D.C. Code § 21-2213

Mar. 16, 1989, D.C. Law 7-189, § 14, 35 DCR 8653; Feb. 5, 1994, D.C. Law 10-68, § 23(n), 40 DCR 6311; Feb. 27, 2016, D.C. Law 21-72, § 2(c)(7), 63 DCR 208.

Applicability

Section 7011 of D.C. Law 22-33 repealed § 4 of D.C. Law 21-72. Therefore the creation of this section by D.C. Law 21-72 has been implemented.

Applicability of D.C. Law 21-72: § 4 of D.C. Law 21-72 provided that the change made to this section by § 2 of D.C. Law 21-72 is subject to the inclusion of the law's fiscal effect in an approved budget and financial plan. Therefore that amendment has not been given effect.
