District of Columbia Government Title Equality Act

This legislative proposal aims to standardize the nomenclature of the District of Columbia's executive and legislative branches. Its primary objective is to align the titles of D.C. government officials and bodies with those typically found in state governments across the United States. Specifically, the bill amends the District of Columbia Home Rule Act to redesignate the Office of the Mayor as the Office of the Governor of the District of Columbia. Concurrently, the Council of the District of Columbia would be renamed the Legislative Assembly of the District of Columbia. Furthermore, the Chair of the Council would become the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly. The legislation ensures a seamless transition by stipulating that individuals currently holding these offices will be deemed elected to their new, redesignated titles. It also mandates that all existing references to these offices and officials in any United States or District of Columbia law, rule, or regulation will automatically be updated to reflect the new terminology.
