AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to send Congress a monthly report on all projects and activities paid for by the Disaster Relief Fund, starting within 60 days after it becomes law. Each report would list the fund's unspent balance, amounts committed and paid out, and a breakdown by each disaster declaration. Reports would also list public assistance projects submitted and approved, projects waiting more than 180 days for a decision, and any funds held back or moved, with reasons. FEMA would post each report on its website within 10 days and create a standard reporting template within 90 days.
