FEMA Accountability Act

H.R. 7461, the FEMA Accountability Act, would direct the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to submit monthly reports to Congress on the status of all projects and activities funded through the Disaster Relief Fund. The bill aims to increase transparency and oversight of how federal disaster relief funds are being used and spent.

If enacted, this legislation would provide Congress and the public with regular, detailed information about the progress and status of disaster relief projects. This could help identify bottlenecks in the disaster recovery process, track fund allocation, and ensure accountability in how FEMA manages disaster assistance resources. The bill is currently in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
