Urges President and Congress to enact legislation forgiving community disaster loans issued after Superstorm Sandy.

SCR 20 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging the U.S. President and Congress to pass federal legislation forgiving community disaster loans issued to New Jersey municipalities after Superstorm Sandy (2012). It specifically requests forgiveness of loans received under the "Disaster Relief Appropriations Act of 2013" and addresses a policy that prevents Sandy recovery loan recipients from accessing new disaster aid during the COVID-19 pandemic. The resolution references Rep. Chris Smith’s H.R. 6454 bill, which would forgive these loans and remove small business loans as a barrier to future disaster assistance. This resolution directly affects New Jersey communities and residents who took these loans, seeking financial relief amid ongoing economic challenges.
