Bill > S1877

This bill, the Hazard Eligibility and Local Projects Act, modifies the eligibility requirements for certain hazard mitigation assistance programs. The key provisions allow entities to be eligible for hazard mitigation assistance, even if they began implementing an acquisition and demolition project before requesting assistance, as long as the project qualifies for a categorical exclusion under the National Environmental Policy Act. The bill also requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Administrator to submit annual reports to Congress on the use of this authority, and the authority provided under the bill will cease to be effective after 3 years.
