718.1

This section sets forth the procedures for receiving reimbursement from ABRA under the subsidy program for monies paid to the Metropolitan Police Department (MPD) by licensees for the hiring of MPD officers to work a reimbursable detail. A licensee, a group of licensees, a Business Improvement District on behalf of licensees, or a DC Main Streets Program on behalf of licensees, may enter into an agreement with MPD to provide for reimbursable detail and are eligible for reimbursement under the subsidy program. This section shall apply only to the extent that:

(a) Funds are appropriated for the subsidy program; and

(b) ABRA has sufficient funds allocated for this program remaining to reimburse MPD for costs incurred by licensees for MPD officers working reimbursable details.

718.2

ABRA will reimburse MPD for a percentage, as published in the D.C. Register, of the total cost of invoices submitted by MPD to cover the costs incurred by licensees for MPD officers working reimbursable details on Sunday through Saturday nights. Effective July 1, 2021, the hours eligible for reimbursement for on-premises retailer licensees shall be 11:30 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. From November 4, 2020 to July 1, 2021, the hours of eligibility were from 2 p.m. to 2 a.m., Sunday through Saturday.

718.3

Effective July 1, 2021, ABRA will also reimburse MPD a percentage, as published in the D.C. Register, of the total costs of invoices submitted by MPD to cover the costs incurred for outdoor special events where the licensee has been approved for a one-day substantial change license or temporary license. The hours eligible for an outdoor special event operating under a one-day substantial change license, a temporary license, or a pub crawl event operating under a pub crawl license shall be twenty-four (24) hours a day.

718.4

MPD shall submit to ABRA, on a monthly basis, invoices documenting the percentage owed by each licensee. Invoices will be paid by ABRA to MPD within thirty (30) days of receipt in the order that they are received until the subsidy program's funds are depleted.

718.5

ABRA shall notify MPD when funds in the subsidy program fall below two hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($250,000).

718.6

Any invoices unpaid by ABRA either for good cause or a lack of sufficient funds left in the subsidy program shall remain the responsibility of the licensee.

718.7

ABRA shall not be involved in determining the number of MPD officers needed to work a reimbursable detail.
