Law

Congress would block the Homeland Security Secretary from requiring personal sign-off on FEMA disaster spending over $100,000.
The goal is to prevent a top-level approval rule from slowing down FEMA payments and purchases during disasters.
This mainly affects how fast FEMA can move money for big, urgent disaster costs like debris removal, shelters, and emergency repairs.
For people hit by disasters, it could mean quicker support and fewer delays caused by extra paperwork at the highest level.
