Bill > HR7461

This bill, titled the FEMA Accountability Act, requires the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to submit a monthly report to Congress detailing the status of all projects and activities funded by the Disaster Relief Fund, which is a fund established to assist with disaster recovery efforts. These reports, which must begin within 60 days of the bill's enactment and continue monthly, will include specific financial information such as the total unobligated balance, funds obligated (meaning legally committed for payment), and funds disbursed (actually paid out) from the Disaster Relief Fund. The reports will also break down this information by individual disaster declaration, including the affected areas and the percentage of obligated funds that have been disbursed, and will list pending project approvals, disbursed funds, and any projects with pending decisions for over 180 days, along with explanations for any withheld or reprogrammed funds. Furthermore, FEMA must make these reports publicly available on its website within 10 days of submission and establish a standardized reporting template for this data within 90 days of enactment.
