Guaranteed Disaster Assistance Act

This bill changes one word in Section 404(a) of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, the federal law that covers the hazard mitigation program. Under current law, the President "may" contribute to hazard mitigation measures after a major disaster. The bill would replace "may" with "shall," so the President would be required, rather than allowed, to carry out the program.
