Miscellaneous Notes
Enactment of Title 47: Section 2 of D.C. Law 11-254 enacted Title 47 of the District of Columbia Code into law. D.C. Law 11-254 did not affect Charter provisions, i.e., those provisions derived from title IV of the Home Rule Act, Public Law 93-198. D.C. Law 11-254 has been added to the historical citation of each provision of the title in existence at the time of its introduction in Council except for Charter provisions.
Section 4 of D.C. Law 11-254 provided that "§§ 47-101, 47-117, 47-130, 47-301, 47-302, 47-303, 47-304, 47-304.1, 47-305, 47-310, 47-312, 47-317.1 through 47- 317.6, 47-321 through 47-325, 47-327 through 47-331, and 47-332 through 47-334 of Title 47 [§§ 1-204.41, 1-204.55, 1-204.50, 1-204.42, 1- 204.43, 1-204.44, 1-204.46, 1-204.53, 1-204.47, 1-204.48, 1- 204.49, 1-204.24a through 1-204.24f, 1-204.61 through 1-204.65, 1-204.71 through 1-204.81, and 1-204.85 through 1-204.90, 2001 Ed.] of the District of Columbia Code shall be enacted as part of Title 47 upon the adoption by Congress of legislation so enacting these sections."
D.C. Law 11-254 did not make substantive changes to the provisions of Title 47; the only changes were technical corrections. No attempt has been made to detail each of these changes in an Effect of Amendment note.
Tribute to Chairman Clarke: Chairman David A. Clarke was instrumental in the enactment of Title 47 into law. His efforts are hereby gratefully acknowledged. Under the leadership of Chairman Clarke the Council adopted Title 47 as the first enacted title to the D.C. Code since the 1974 enactment of Home Rule in the District.
