Disaster Management Costs Modernization Act

AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes federal disaster law so that when a state, tribe, or territory closes out a disaster grant and has not spent all of the money set aside for managing it, the President may let them keep the leftover management funds. The leftover funds could be used to build capacity to prepare for, recover from, or reduce the impacts of disasters, or to pay management costs for other disasters, emergencies, preparedness measures, or mitigation projects. The funds would stay available for 5 years. The change applies only to disasters declared and funded after the bill becomes law, and it requires a federal audit agency to report to Congress on disaster management costs within 180 days.
