Summary of Bill S 773

Bill 119 s 773, also known as the Disaster Recovery Reform Act, aims to amend section 324 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. The purpose of this bill is to provide incentives for States, Indian Tribes, and Territories to efficiently close disaster recovery projects.

One of the key provisions of this bill is the authorization for the use of excess funds from closed disaster recovery projects for management costs of other disaster recovery projects. This means that if a state, tribe, or territory successfully completes a disaster recovery project under budget, they can use the leftover funds to cover the administrative costs of other ongoing or future disaster recovery projects.

The goal of this bill is to encourage efficient and effective use of disaster recovery funds, ultimately improving the overall response and recovery efforts in the aftermath of natural disasters. By incentivizing states, tribes, and territories to close projects in a timely manner and under budget, this bill aims to streamline the disaster recovery process and ensure that funds are being used in the most effective way possible. Overall, Bill 119 s 773 seeks to improve the management and allocation of disaster recovery funds, ultimately benefiting communities affected by natural disasters and enhancing the overall resilience of the nation in the face of future emergencies.
