Referred to the Committee on Appropriations, and in addition to the Committee on the Budget, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill gives FEMA extra money to help Texans recover from the severe floods in 2025. It adds $15 billion to FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund to cover things like emergency help, repairs, and other disaster costs tied to those flooding events. The money is treated as emergency spending and can be used until it runs out, but no new commitments can be made after September 30, 2028.
FEMA must report every six months on how much has been spent, where in Texas the money went, what kinds of help were provided, and any problems or unmet needs they find while getting aid to people.
