To prohibit the District of Columbia from requiring tribunals in court or administrative proceedings in the District of Columbia to defer to the Mayor of the District of Columbia's interpretation of statutes and regulations, and for other purposes.

1) What happened and its current status: Rep. Hageman introduced HR 3766 on June 5, 2025. The bill was reported (amended) by the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on May 13, 2026, and placed on the Union Calendar. It is a bill specific to the District of Columbia's administrative law framework — it prevents D.C. courts from deferring to the Mayor's interpretations of statutes and regulations, and repeals temporary emergency legislation on the same topic.

2) The money trail: The bill authorizes no funding. It imposes no tax, fee, or spending program. There is no grant, contract, or procurement mechanism that affects any private sector entity. The only entities affected are D.C. government agencies and reviewing tribunals.

3) Structural winners and losers: Because this bill addresses only the standard of judicial review for D.C. administrative decisions, there are no publicly traded companies whose revenue streams or cost structures are affected. D.C. utilities (e.g., Pepco, a subsidiary of Exelon $EXC) are regulated by the D.C. Public Service Commission under D.C. Code, but this bill does not change any substantive regulatory requirement — only the standard of deference a court would apply when reviewing a decision. That shift in legal standard is too remote and uncertain to map to any specific company's financials.

4) Real market data: Not applicable — no market- moving price action is expected from a procedural administrative law bill.

5) Timeline: The bill has cleared committee and is on the Union Calendar, meaning it can be considered by the full House. No companion bill has been introduced in the Senate. The legislative path to enactment is uncertain and likely low priority given its narrow jurisdictional scope.
