Bill
PR 26-0008
Would confirm Pia Winston for a DC Office of Employee Appeals role; a non-fiscal, procedural confirmation now withdrawn (Jan 6, 2025), with no appointment or budget impact.
Overview
- Type: Resolution (no new statutory authority or appropriations; a procedural act to confirm a nominee)
- Title: Office of Employee Appeals Pia Winston Confirmation Resolution of 2024
- Sponsor/Introduced by: Chairman Mendelson
- Government level: District of Columbia (Council)
- Status: Withdrawn (no longer moving forward)
Purpose and intent
- The resolution would have served to confirm Pia Winston for a position within the Office of Employee Appeals (OEA). The title indicates a confirmation role, which in the District of Columbia typically means Council approval of a mayoral or executive nominee to a leadership or governance position within the OEA.
- As a confirmation resolution, its primary effect would be to express the Council’s approval and authorize the nominee to assume the specified role, contingent on the usual confirmation process.
Key provisions (as implied by the title and typical form of confirmation resolutions)
- Confirmation of the nominee: The resolution would authorize the Council to confirm Pia Winston for the indicated role in the Office of Employee Appeals.
- Appointment context: The resolution would reflect the Council’s role in confirming executive appointments to the OEA, aligning with DC governance practices.
- Non-fiscal nature: Being a resolution, it would not by itself authorize a budget or create new statutory obligations; it would focus on confirmation and the nominee’s eligibility to serve.
Who is affected
- Primary: Pia Winston (the appointed/nominee for the OEA position)
- Secondary: Office of Employee Appeals and, more broadly, DC government employees who rely on OEA processes and decision-making
- Stakeholders include the leadership and staff of the OEA, employees who file appeals, and the legislative branch overseeing confirmations
Procedural history and timeline
- Introduced: September 27, 2024
- Referred to Committee: October 1, 2024 (Committee on Executive Administration and Labor)
- Withdrawn: January 6, 2025
- Current status: Withdrawn; no further action on this resolution is indicated in the provided records
Implications and next steps
- Because the measure was withdrawn, there is no confirmed appointment through this resolution at this time.
- If a future interest arises, a new or reintroduced confirmation resolution could be pursued, subject to identical or revised terms and committee review.
- As a non-fiscal, procedural instrument, the resolution’s impact would be limited to confirming eligibility for service in the OEA, without altering agency powers or budgets.
