Freedom to Petition the Government Act

Bill 119 HR 69 aims to amend title 29 of the District of Columbia Official Code in order to exempt meetings held by nonprofit organizations with federal government officials in the District of Columbia from being considered as conducting business in the District. This exemption would apply specifically to meetings held at locations owned or leased by the federal government. The purpose of this amendment is to relieve nonprofit organizations from the burden of having to register with the District of Columbia solely based on holding meetings with federal officials in the District. This bill seeks to clarify and streamline the registration requirements for nonprofit organizations engaging in activities with the federal government in the District of Columbia.
