Sponsored by Joe Neguse (D)

Disaster Management Costs Modernization Act

Would have let the President spend leftover disaster management money on future disaster preparation.

Tradeoff

Would have let grant recipients keep and reuse unspent disaster management funds for five years. Would have required a Government Accountability Office (GAO) review of whether those set-aside amounts are appropriate.

What's in it

See official bill text

CBO estimates no effect on direct spending or revenues; the bill's effect on spending has not been estimated.

The bill mainly changes what happens to leftover FEMA administrative money, letting local governments keep it for up to five years to build disaster preparedness capacity, but the federal cost itself has not been quantified.
