These New Laws Go Into Effect Around The D.C. Region on October 1

Date Released:

Wed, 09/27/2023

Somehow, it’s the end of September. And while the federal government is probably shutting down, the D.C. region is gearing up for a slate of new laws. Typically, Jan. 1 and July 1 are the most popular dates for legislation to go into effect as they align with fiscal year calendars but Oct. 1 occasionally corresponds to new laws in the books as well.
