The Reforming Disaster Recovery Act is currently held in the House Committee on Financial Services and the House Committee on Appropriations as of April 14, 2026. Committee leaders must schedule a vote to move the bill forward, but most legislation fails to receive a committee vote and dies at this stage. This effort follows a similar bill that expired in the previous session on October 24, 2023.
