Makes a targeted change to the Stafford Act definition language by adding “algal blooms” alongside “drought.” The amendment simply inserts algal blooms into the statutory definition so that harmful algal bloom events are explicitly recognized in the Act’s covered conditions, which may affect how federal disaster assistance is considered for those events but does not itself provide funding.
Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
