Puerto Rico Disaster Recovery Completion Act of 2026

This bill would extend the deadline to finish certain federally funded disaster recovery projects in Puerto Rico to December 31, 2035. It covers projects to repair damaged facilities and related mitigation work under the Stafford Act that have not yet been closed out, tied to Hurricanes Irma, Maria, and Fiona and the 2019–2020 earthquakes. After that date, project recipients could still ask for more time through the existing federal process. The head of FEMA, working with Puerto Rico's recovery office, would have to report each year to Congress and Puerto Rico's Resident Commissioner on how many projects have been completed and what is delaying the rest.
