HR 5889 United States House · 118th Congress

Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Claims Extension Act

This bill extends deadlines for wildfire victims to file claims related to the 2022 Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon fires. It modifies the existing Hermit's Peak/Calf Canyon Fire Assistance Act by changing key dates: claim submissions must now be completed by December 31, 2028 (instead of May 31, 2024), and FEMA must finalize regulations by December 31, 2027 (instead of 2 years after regulation promulgation). The bill directly affects residents and businesses in New Mexico who suffered losses from these wildfires and are seeking federal assistance. It does not create new benefits but extends the timeframe for processing existing claims under the current program.
