Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs.
This bill creates one public webpage where the government posts clear, easy-to-read updates on federal disaster aid. Every three months, agencies that give disaster help must share how much money they provided, how much was spent or promised, and a list of the projects that got funding. Those lists must include the project’s name, description, status, location (by ZIP Code), and ID numbers, and the data must be machine-readable. The information has to be posted within 30 days after each quarter, and a central office will set up and run the page with help from other agencies, and can partner with a private or nonprofit group if needed for transparency. Agencies like the Small Business Administration and Housing and Urban Development are included in these reporting rules.
