Young City Administrator Wr;.ARr;.* * * ocWASHINGTON Before the Committee of the Whole Council of the District of Columbia The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairperson Council Chamber John A. Wilson Building 1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20004 October 10, 2017 10:30a.m. Testimony of City Administrator Rashad Young Public Hearing on Proposed Amendments to the Universal Paid Leave Act of 2017 October 10, 2017 Good morning, Chairman Mendelson and members of the Council. For the record, my name is Rashad Young, and I serve as the City Administrator of the District of Columbia. Joining me today at the table is Jacob Wong, an Applied Research Analyst in the Office of the City Administrator. I am pleased to testify before you today on Bill 22-130, the Paid Leave Compensation Act of 2017; Bill 22-133, the Universal Paid Leave Compensation for Workers Amendment Act of 2017; Bill 22-302, the Large Employer Paid-Leave Compensation Act of 2017; Bill 22-325, the Universal Paid Leave Amendment Act of 2017; and Bill 22-334, the Universal Paid Leave Pay Structure Amendment Act of 2017. Each of these bills proposes to make amendments to the Universal Paid Leave Act, which was approved by the Council in December of 2016. Overview of Universal Paid Leave Act As you are aware, the Universal Paid Leave Act creates one of the first programs of its kind in the country. Under the Act, part-time and full-time private employees who work in the District, regardless of their place of residence, will be eligible for a paid leave benefit. The paid leave benefit consists of 6 weeks of paid leave for the care of a family member, 8 weeks of paid leave for the birth a child or placement of a child with the employee, and 2 weeks of paid leave for the employee's own serious medical condition. 1 Testimony of City Administrator Rashad Young Public Hearing on Proposed Amendments to the Universal Paid Leave Act of 2017 October 10, 2017 The weekly benefit that an employee will be paid under the Act is calculated as a percentage of the employee's regular wages, capped at $1,000 per week. The benefits will be funded by a 0.62% payroll tax imposed on all District employers. It is important to note that the program will be administered by the District, not by employers. Employees will apply to the District government for the benefit, the District government will review and approve or disapprove the benefit claim, and the District government will make direct benefit payments to employees. It is also important to note, particularly

  • Frequently Asked Questions Mayor Bowser's B21-0357
    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS MAYOR BOWSER’S B21-0357 PUBLIC SAFETY AND CRIMINAL CODE REVISIONS ACT OF 2015 WHY DO WE HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT B21-0357? B21-0357 promotes ineffective and counterproductive “tough on crime” approaches to public safety. In response to the recent rise in crime in the District of Columbia, Mayor Muriel Bowser (“Mayor”) proposed B21-0357, the Public Safety and Criminal Code Revisions Amendment Act of 2015. The Mayor’s proposal would employ policies that have proven ineffective and counterproductive in ensuring public safety. Over the past 25 years local politicians have adhered to the conventional wisdom that being “tough on crime” will win elections and appease the public’s appetite for safety. To alleviate public fear and thirst for retribution, our lawmakers have deemed more acts criminal and doled out harsher punishments. Many of these laws have been selectively enforced on the District’s Black community and communities of color and have produced a dramatic rise in incarceration and criminal justice control. Despite dramatic shifts in public opinion, with the public now supporting common sense and fair sentencing, B21-0357 adheres to the tradition of punishment and incarceration. The policies in this proposal will result in more District residents being incarcerated, and drive more people into the cycle of disenfranchisement and other collateral consequences characteristic of our criminal justice system. There are also serious constitutional concerns with some of the provisions contained within the proposal. Oppose B21-0357 and urge the D.C. Council to reject “tough on crime” rhetoric in favor of smart, evidence-supported public policy.

While we appreciate that governments are always trying to do more with less, we fear that the lack of adequate staffing at the caseworker, management and policy levels jeopardizes the ability of low income individuals and families to access essential public benefits in an accurate and timely fashion. We believe that ESA needs additional staff to implement the expanded access to health insurance under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) while also serving existing customers. To ensure that additional staff are utilized well, ESA also needs to develop new plans for staff utilization.
