Sets forth restrictions on the expenditure of appropriations made by this Act. Makes funds available for: (1) transportation allowances for official duties; (2) travel expenses and the payment of dues for organizations concerned with the work of the District of Columbia government; (3) refunds and the payment of judgments entered against the District of Columbia government; (4) the payment of public assistance; (5) the cost, subject to restriction, of overtime or temporary positions; and (6) payments authorized by the District of Columbia Revenue Recovery Act of 1977.

Prohibits the renewal or extension of any sole source contract with the District of Columbia government without opening that contract to the competitive bidding process, subject to exception. Requires any sequestration order to be applied to each account appropriating Federal funds in this Act (rather than to the aggregate total of those accounts) which is not specifically exempted from sequestration by specified Federal law. Provides for repayment to the Federal Treasury of any amounts appropriated and paid to the District of Columbia before a sequestration order is issued, applying the sequestration percentage proportionately to each account not specifically exempted from sequestration. Prohibits funds available to the District of Columbia from being used for billing individual agencies or establishments for certain water and water services and sanitary sewer services until certain existing statutes are amended to specifically provide for such billing.

Authorizes the playing of such games in prohibited areas if they are sponsored by and conducted solely for the benefit of a tax-exempt organization. Requires that the D.C. Council receive written notice at least 30 days before funds appropriated for activities for which it has approved a specific budget increase are reprogrammed or reduced. Requires the District of Columbia to pay interest on its quarterly payments to the United States that are made more than 60 days after its receipt of an itemized statement from the Federal Bureau of Prisons of amounts due for housing D.C. convicts in Federal penitentiaries.
