Drought Preparedness Act

Sponsored By: Representative Neguse, Joe [D-CO-2]

Became Law

Summary

Extends drought program authority and funding to 2028. The Drought Preparedness Act amends two sections of the Reclamation States Emergency Drought Relief Act of 1991 by replacing the year 2022 with 2028. That change keeps the same drought response program and its appropriations authorized through 2028 without altering eligibility, rules, or other program details. The law simply moves the program's expiration date so federal drought relief and related funding remain available for six more years.
