HR 5473 United States House · 118th Congress

Promoting Resilient Buildings Act of 2024

HR 5473, the Promoting Resilient Buildings Act of 2023, amends federal disaster recovery laws to improve how states and local governments use federal funds for building resilience. It updates the hazard mitigation revolving loan program under the Stafford Act to require that states implement building codes, standards, and any state or local amendments to those codes when applying for loans. This change directly affects state and local governments administering federal disaster mitigation funds, ensuring their updated building requirements are considered. The bill streamlines the process by removing outdated language and explicitly including state/local code modifications in the program's requirements.
