Every two years DC Council members move to new comittees as former members depart and new folks come in, and they often trade the agencies each committee oversees, too. However, it often isn’t easy to figure out exactly what changed.
It’s also often just generally obnoxious to try to figure out what committee a given agency is under—while it may be obvious, for example, which Committee will discuss issues with the Department of Transportation, others like the Office of Disability Rights may be less obvious. Even some of the “obvious” ones turn out not to sit where you’d expect; for example, the Department of For-Hire Vehicles, which regulates and enforces taxicabs, ridehail services like Uber/Lyft, and recently also retail delivery services like Doordash and Uber Eats, sits not under Transportation but the Committee on Public Works and Operations, to which it was moved a few years ago from the Committee on Business and Economic Development.
So, for the last couple Council Periods, I’ve been trying to solve both problems at once: A table of DC agencies (there are over 250 of them! 😳) and which Committee of Council has oversight, now and in the recent past. For which Councilmembers are on which committee—which as noted above also changes every two years—see the companion post.
Agency/ Department | Council Period 23 (2019–2020) Committee | Council Period 24 (2021–2022) Committee | Council Period 25 (2023–2024) Committee | Council Period 26 (2025–2026) Committee |
