AI Summary

This bill, the FEMA Loan Interest Payment Relief Act, aims to amend the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to provide financial assistance to local governments or electric cooperatives as reimbursement for "qualifying interest" paid on loans used to fund disaster relief activities. The bill defines "qualifying interest" as the lesser of the actual interest paid or the interest that would have been paid if the loan had an interest rate equal to the prime rate. The bill also states that qualifying interest incurred in the 7 years prior to the bill's enactment would be eligible for reimbursement, and that only funds appropriated after the bill's enactment may be used to carry out this amendment.
