Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority (Authority). Requires the District to operate a free, 24-hour telephone information service where residents of the area surrounding Lorton prison can obtain information about all prison disturbances. Requires the Mayor of the District to reduce appropriations and expenditures in specified amounts for: (1) personal services by decreasing rates of compensation for District government employees through the renegotiation of existing collective bargaining agreements and otherwise, if necessary; (2) boards and commissions; and (3) personal and nonpersonal services. Directs the Mayor to adjust appropriations and expenditures for personal and nonpersonal services, together with the related full-time equivalent positions, in accordance with the direction of the District of Columbia Financial Responsibility and Management Assistance Authority to obtain a specified net reduction within or among one or several of the various appropriation headings in this Act. Provides for a reduction in funds and full-time equivalent positions for D.C. General Hospital. (Sec. 101) Sets forth certain uses of and restrictions on the expenditure of appropriations made by this Act. (Sec. 110) Requires that the annual budget for the District of Columbia government for FY 1997 be transmitted to the Congress by April 15, 1996. (Sec. 123) Directs the Mayor to submit to the D.C. Council, within 30 days after the end of the first quarter of FY 1996, the FY 1996 revenue estimates. (Sec. 130) Prohibits funds appropriated under this Act from being used by the District to provide for salaries, expenses, or other costs associated with the offices of U.S. Senator or U.S. Representatives under the District of Columbia Statehood Constitutional Convention Initiatives of 1979. (Sec. 131) Amends the District of Columbia Self-Government and Governmental Reorganization Act to prohibit the D.C. Council from enacting any act, resolution, or rule which obligates or expends District funds (without regard to the source of such funds) for any abortion or which appropriates funds to any facility owned or operated by the District in which any abortion is performed, except where it is necessary to save the life of the mother or in cases of forcible rape reported within 30 days to a law enforcement agency or cases of incest reported to such an agency or a child abuse agency before the performance of the abortion. (Sec. 132) Prohibits funds appropriated in this Act from being obligated or expended on any proposed change in either the use or configuration of, or on any proposed improvement to, the Municipal Fish Wharf until such proposed change or improvement has been reviewed and approved by Federal and local authorities such as the National Capital Planning Commission, the Commission of Fine Arts, and the D.C. Council, under specified conditions. (Sec. 133) Expresses the sense of the Congress that all equipment and products purchased with funds made available in this Act should be American-made. Requires each agency of the Federal or District government, in providing financial assistance to, or entering into any contract with, entities using such funds to notify the entities of this congressional statement. (Sec. 134) Prohibits the use of funds made pursuant to any provision of this Act to enforce or implement: (1) any registration system for unmarried, cohabitating couples that are homosexual, lesbian, or heterosexual, including registration for the extension of employment, health, or governmental benefits to such couples on the same basis that such benefits are extended to legally married couples; or (2) the District Domestic Partner Act (also called the District of Columbia Health Care Benefits Expansion Act of 1992). (Sec. 137) Amends the District of Columbia Real Property Tax Revision Act of 1974 to require the D.C. Council, if it extends the time to establish rates of taxation on real property for a tax year, to establish such rates by permanent legislation. Changes the date by which the Council should establish the rates from July 15 to October 15. Applies, during a tax year, the rates of taxation for the prior year if the rates are not established and the Council does not extend the time. Makes the real property tax rates for taxable real property in the District for FY 1996 the same rates in effect for FY 1994. Repeals provisions of the Act which require such rates to be those submitted by the Mayor or the D.C. Council. (Sec. 139) Requires the Mayor to submit to the Congress and to the D.C. Council a report delineating the executive's action to effect the directives of the Council in this Act with respect to certain reductions. (Sec. 146) Prohibits an agency from filling a position wholly funded by appropriations authorized by this Act which is vacant on October 1, 1995, or which becomes vacant during FY 1996, unless the Mayor or the independent agency submits a proposed resolution of intent to fill the vacant position to the D.C. Council for approval or disapproval. Prohibits any reduction in the number of full-time equivalent positions or any reduction-in-force due to privatization or contracting out if the Authority disallows the full-time equivalent position reduction provided in this Act in meeting the specified ceiling of 35,771 for FY 1996. Allows the appropriate personnel authority to fill a vacant position with a District government employee currently occupying a position that is funded with appropriated funds. Exempts local school-based teachers, officers, teachers' aides, and District court personnel, with an exception. (Sec. 150) Modifies D.C. reductions-in-force procedures to allow a personnel authority to establish lesser competitive areas within an agency on the basis of all or a clearly identifiable segment of an agency's mission or a division or major subdivision of an agency. Authorizes each agency head to identify positions for abolishment. Outlines procedures for abolishment of such positions for FY 1996. (Sec. 151) Prohibits the total amount appropriated in this Act under the caption "Division of Expenses" for District operating expenses for FY 1996 from exceeding $4,867,283,000. (Sec. 152) Requires the District, by February 15, 1996, to develop a plan for closing the Lorton Correctional Complex over a maximum five-year transition period. Sets forth requirements of such plan.
