Bill 119 hr 153, also known as the "Disaster Assistance Reporting Transparency Act," aims to create an online database where recipients of Federal disaster assistance must report certain information. This information includes details on how the funds were used, the outcomes of the assistance, and any potential fraud or misuse of the funds.

The purpose of this bill is to increase transparency and accountability in the use of Federal disaster assistance funds. By requiring recipients to report on their use of the funds and making this information easily accessible to the public, the bill aims to ensure that taxpayer dollars are being used effectively and efficiently in times of crisis.

In addition to creating the online repository for reporting requirements, the bill also includes provisions for penalties for recipients who fail to comply with reporting requirements or who misuse the funds. This is intended to deter fraud and ensure that the funds are used for their intended purposes. Overall, the Disaster Assistance Reporting Transparency Act seeks to improve oversight and accountability in the distribution of Federal disaster assistance funds, ultimately benefiting both taxpayers and those in need of assistance during times of crisis.
