Most bills introduced in the House do not become law unless they have many supporters or are part of a larger package.
Key Points
- This bill requires FEMA to appoint temporary leaders for regional offices if the top job has been empty for 90 days or more.
- These temporary leaders would have the power to approve and send out federal money to state and local governments for disaster recovery.
- The goal is to prevent delays in disaster relief that happen when a regional office does not have a permanent boss to sign off on spending.
- FEMA would have to report to Congress on how these changes are working and if they are actually getting money to communities faster.
