      "title": "Appropriations for FY2002: District of Columbia",
      "summary": "On December 21, 2001, President Bush signed into law the District of Columbia Appropriations\nAct\nfor FY2002,  P.L. 107-96  (formerly  H.R. 2944 ). Two weeks earlier, the House on\nDecember 6, 2001, and the Senate on December 7, 2001, approved the conference report\naccompanying  H.R. 2944 , after resolving significant differences in the general\nprovisions of their respective versions of the act. The act, which appropriates $408 million in special\nfederal payments, includes $16 million for reimbursement to the District for the cost of providing\nsecurity for a cancelled World Bank and International Monetary Fund meeting, and for security\nplanning in the wake of the attacks on the Pentagon and World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. \nIn addition, the act approves the city's $5.3 billion operating budget for the current fiscal year. The\nact lifts the ban on the use of District funds for a domestic partners health insurance act approved\nby the city council and signed by the mayor in 1992. Congress has maintained the prohibition on\nthe use of federal and District funds for needle exchange programs, rejecting a Senate provision that\nwould have lifted the prohibition on the use of District funds for such activities. The act lifts the\nrestriction on the location of such activities near public and charter schools. The act, as passed by\nCongress, requires the District of Columbia public schools to submit to Congress a report that\nidentifies all judgments against the DC public schools under the Individuals with Disabilities\nEducation Act. \n  The District's FY2002 budget request was submitted to Congress on May 25, 2001. The city\nbudget request included $199 million in federal payments to the District of Columbia. The city's\nbudget proposal included $5.3 billion in general operating fund expenditures, and $611 million in\nenterprise funds. The budget also included $78 million in funding for the newly created Health Care\nSafety Net Administration, which replaced the city's discredited Public Benefits Corporation. \n  Earlier in 2001, House and Senate District of Columbia Appropriations Subcommittees held\nhearings that focused on child and family services, and proposed reforms of the family division of\nthe District of Columbia Superior Court.  P.L. 107-96  includes $24 million for a new Family Court\nDivision of the District's Superior Court, including $500,000 for the Child and Family Services\nAgency. The committees also held hearings on the courts, corrections, the fiscal condition of the\ncity, and the future role of the Chief Financial Officer.\n  On April 30, 2001, the control board, which was created by Congress to address the city's fiscal\nand governance problems, approved a resolution that abolished the Public Benefits Corporation and\ntransferred responsibility for the administration of health care services to the Health Care Safety Net\nAdministration. The Authority also awarded a contract for health care services to Greater Southeast\nCommunity Hospital and the Health Care Alliance.",
