Summary
The Congressional Research Service’s plain-language summary of what the law does.
District of Columbia Budgetary Efficiency Act of 1991 - Amends the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act to increase the annual Federal payment to the District of Columbia for FY 1985 through 1992. Establishes a formula for determining the amount of such payment for each fiscal year from FY 1993 through 1995.
Amends the District of Columbia Code to include in the annual independent audit of the District of Columbia's financial operations, a report on its revenues for the fiscal year, broken down by revenues derived from the Federal Government and those derived from other sources during such fiscal year.
Requires the Comptroller General to submit an annual review to specified congressional committees of the annual report of such breakdown of the independently audited revenues of the District of Columbia for the preceding fiscal year.
