Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
The bill appropriates $25,000,000,000 from the Treasury to FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund for fiscal year 2025. It designates the appropriation as an emergency requirement under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act and relevant budget resolutions, exempting it from normal offsets.
Liberals emphasize equity and climate-resilient rebuilding requirements.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a straightforward appropriation that effectively and explicitly allocates a specified emergency amount to an existing federal account but provides minimal operational detail beyond budgetary designation.
