Allows electric utilities to perform cost‑effective hazard‑mitigation work at the same time as emergency power‑restoration work paid for under Section 403 of the Stafford Act, and clarifies that receiving Section 403 restoration assistance does not make a facility ineligible for hazard‑mitigation assistance under Section 406. The rule applies only to amounts appropriated on or after the date of enactment.

This change aims to let restoration and resilience work be combined when cost‑effective, which can speed repairs, reduce future disaster risk, and preserve eligibility for separate hazard‑mitigation funding. It does not itself appropriate new funds; it only adjusts how appropriated funds may be used going forward.
