Bill > S56

This bill establishes the Disaster Recovery Act of 2025 - Part I, which provides a framework for disaster relief and recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene in North Carolina. The bill defines the "affected area" as those counties designated under a major disaster declaration by the President under the Stafford Act, and creates provisions for transferring funds from the State Emergency Response and Disaster Relief Fund (SERDRF) to the Hurricane Helene Disaster Recovery Fund (Helene Fund). The legislation sets maximum funding amounts for disaster recovery efforts and allows for potential savings if the total appropriated funds are not fully required. The bill applies specifically to the counties impacted by Hurricane Helene and is designed to facilitate efficient and targeted disaster relief assistance. The act becomes effective immediately upon becoming law, allowing for rapid response and resource allocation to support recovery efforts in the affected regions.
