Effect of Amendments

D.C. Law 17-144 rewrote par. (1); and, in par. (3), substituted “New Convention Center Hotel Site” for “New Convention Hotel Site”. Prior to amendment, par. (1) read as follows: “(1) ‘New Convention Center Hotel Site’ means square 370, bounded by 9th Street, N.W., 10th Street, N.W., M Street, N.W., and Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, D.C., and lots 801 through 805, 40, 838, 839, 62, 65 through 67, 842, 848, 859, and 878, and square 369, bounded by M Street, N.W., 9th Street, N.W., L Street, N.W., and 10th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C., and public alleys to be closed.”

D.C. Law 17-353, in the credit, renumbered the section designation from § 801 to § 231.

D.C. Law 18-78, in par. (1), substituted “Lot 26 (formerly known as Lots 18, 21, 22, 24, 801 through 806, 830 through 839, 843, and 845), Square 370” for “Lots 18, 21, 22, 24, 801 through 806, 830 through 839, 843, and 845, Square 370”.

The 2012 amendment by D.C. Law 19-171 made a technical correction to D.C. Law 18-78 which did not affect this section as codified.
