Summary
The government is helping the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians recover from Tropical Storm Hilary by covering 90% of eligible public assistance costs, up from the usual 75%. This change, made official in December 2025, means faster and bigger financial support for storm damage repairs. However, hazard mitigation funds will still be reimbursed at 75%, keeping some rules steady.

Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
90% Federal Public Assistance Share
The President amended the disaster declaration for the La Jolla Band of Luiseño Indians to authorize Federal funds for all categories of Public Assistance at 90% of total eligible costs for damage from Tropical Storm Hilary during August 19–21, 2023. This amendment was issued December 19, 2025.
Hazard Mitigation Grant Stay at 75%
Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funds related to this disaster will continue to be reimbursed at 75% of total eligible costs, because the Stafford Act prohibits adjusting those funds. This applies to the Tropical Storm Hilary event from August 19–21, 2023, per the December 19, 2025 amendment.
