Summary
Raises the small-project threshold to $1 million for streamlined disaster recovery. It lets more repair and rebuilding projects use simplified federal procedures and builds in regular oversight and an independent audit.
Show full summary
- Families and communities: More local repair and rebuilding projects can qualify for faster, simplified federal help because the cap rises from $35,000 to $1 million.
- State and local governments and FEMA: More work in the $35,000 to $1 million range can move through streamlined assistance rules, reducing administrative burden on individual projects.
- Congress and watchdogs: Requires the Secretary to review the threshold every three years and report recommendations to House and Senate committees, and orders an Inspector General audit and report within three years on any waste or abuse.
