Bill > AJR27

This concurrent resolution urges the President of the United States to promptly submit a supplemental disaster declaration to Congress to release funds for disaster relief, and it also calls on Congress to approve this supplemental aid for Los Angeles County, even if the President does not formally request it. The resolution is a response to devastating fires in January 2025, specifically the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire, which caused widespread destruction, loss of life, and forced nearly 192,000 residents to evacuate in Los Angeles County. Despite an initial federal disaster declaration and significant state funding, further federal assistance is deemed critical for recovery efforts, including debris removal, housing and infrastructure repair, and economic support, especially as the President has reportedly made unrelated policy changes a condition for further aid and has not yet submitted a funding proposal to Congress.
