FEMA Operational Transparency Act
This bill mandates a comprehensive audit of FEMA's spending within one year of enactment. The audit will examine payments for four key disaster assistance programs (individual aid, public assistance, hazard mitigation, and agency missions), comparing them to administrative costs, analyzing workforce impacts since 2020, and evaluating how well funds reach survivors - especially in rural areas. The Comptroller General must submit the findings to Congress and make them publicly available. This procedural bill does not change FEMA's operations but requires transparency in how disaster relief funds are managed.
