DC Government Title Equality Act: Mayor Becomes Governor, Council Becomes Legislative Assembly.
This Act renames key offices and bodies in the District of Columbia to align their titles with those typically used by state governments. The Mayor of the District of Columbia will become the Governor, and the Council of the District of Columbia will become the Legislative Assembly. This change is purely titular and does not directly alter citizens' daily rights, duties, or finances, but it elevates the perceived status of local authorities.
Key points
The Office of the Mayor of the District of Columbia is redesignated as the Office of the Governor.
The Council of the District of Columbia is redesignated as the Legislative Assembly.
The Chair of the Council is redesignated as the Speaker of the Legislative Assembly.
Current officeholders automatically assume the new titles without needing a new election.
