The D.C. Council gave final approval to the city’s fiscal 2025 budget on Tuesday, and among the provisions was funding for a study of reparations for black residents.

Included in the lengthy budget, which now must be signed by Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser and pass the Congressional review period, is a provision instructing the district’s Chief Financial Officer to “reallocate funds budgeted in the Non-Departmental Account as necessary to implement the Reparations Foundation Fund and Task Force Establishment Act of 2023.”
