Statements on Introduced Bills and Joint Resolutions
In a routine session for statements on newly introduced bills, Senator Reed introduced the Disaster Relief Fairness Act with Senator Whitehouse; the bill would approve major disaster declarations requested under the Trump administration for incidents that meet FEMA’s damage thresholds. Reed said the aim is to ensure communities receive disaster recovery aid they qualify for, and he raised concerns that aid is being denied based on political considerations. Senator Padilla introduced a bill directing a study on how to improve the resiliency of manufactured homes in areas at high risk of natural hazards and extreme weather, noting that more than 22 million Americans, many with below-median incomes, live in such homes.Written by AI from the debate.
