The Congres sional review period is 30 Congressional days except the review period for acts involving Titles 22, 23, and 24 is 60 Congressional days. Permanent acts become effective upon completion of mandatory Congressional review and then are assigned D.C. Law numbers. Permanent acts remain in effect until repealed or amended. Temporary acts become effective upon completion of mandatory Congressional review and then are assigned D.C. Law numbers. Temporary acts remain in effect for 225 days. Emergency acts become immediately effective upon approval of the Mayor (and the Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance authority during a control year). Emergency acts are not subject to Congressional review, are never assigned D.C. Law numbers, and are effective for 90 days. The material contained in the pamphlets will be edited and incorporated in the annual cumulative pocket parts for the District of Columbia Official Code.
