District of Columbia Chief Financial Officer Salary Home Rule Act

# District of Columbia Chief Financial Officer Salary Home Rule Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would allow the District of Columbia to set the salary for its Chief Financial Officer (CFO) independently, rather than having that salary determined by Congress. Currently, Congress maintains control over certain D.C. government positions and their compensation as part of its broader oversight of the District's budget and operations. **Who It Affects:** The bill primarily affects D.C. government operations and the District's ability to manage its own fiscal affairs.

It would give the D.C. government more autonomy in determining executive compensation, which is part of broader home rule debates—the question of how much self-governance D.C. residents should have versus congressional control. **Current Status:** The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton, D.C.'s non-voting representative in Congress.
