In sections 901 to 903 of Law 17-9 the Council of the District of Columbia requested that Congress repeal this section.

Section 353 of D.C. Law 15-39, as amended by D.C. Law 15-354, § 80, provided: “Section 352 of this subtitle shall take effect upon enactment into law by the United States Congress.” Public Law 108-386 represents the enactment of § 352 of D.C. Law 15-39.

This section originated at a time when local government powers were delegated to the District of Columbia Council and to a Commissioner of the District of Columbia. The District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act, 87 Stat. 818, § 711 ( D.C. Code, § 1-207.11), abolished the District of Columbia Council and the Office of Commissioner of the District of Columbia. These branches of government were replaced by the Council of the District of Columbia and the Office of Mayor of the District of Columbia, respectively. Accordingly, and also pursuant to § 714(a) of such Act ( D.C. Code, § 1-207.14(a)), appropriate changes in terminology were made in this section.
