Rep. Green Introduces the Reforming Disaster Recovery Act to Speed Up Federal Aid
The Reforming Disaster Recovery Act is currently in the early stages of the legislative process. It has been sent to the House Financial Services and Appropriations committees for review. No further actions are scheduled at this time.
While disaster relief often has support, this bill changes how Congress controls spending and has faced hurdles in previous sessions.
The bill creates a new Office of Disaster Management and Resiliency within HUD, which means new positions and a clearer organizational structure for federal employees working on disaster recovery. A 2% set-aside from the fund covers salaries, expenses, and capacity building for staff administering the program.
“for activities of the Department that support the provision of such assistance, including necessary salaries and expenses, information technology, capacity building and technical assistance”
Referred to the Committee on Financial Services, and in addition to the Committee on Appropriations, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Sent to a congressional committee for expert review. The committee decides whether this bill moves forward.
