Requires DCA to track natural disaster-related spending by State and local government.

This bill requires New Jersey's Department of Community Affairs (DCA) to track and publicly report all natural disaster-related spending by state and local governments. It mandates that DCA categorize spending into four clear types: preparedness (pre-event planning), mitigation (reducing future damage), response (immediate emergency actions), and recovery (restoring communities). Local governments, school districts, and counties must include this spending data in their annual budget summaries, which DCA will compile into an annual plain-language report on the state website for public access. The bill ensures transparency by requiring clear categorization, funding source details, and annual updates, without adding new spending or changing existing disaster funding rules.
