Texas Flood Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2025
This bill appropriates $15 billion in emergency funding for flood recovery in Texas following 2025 flooding events. The funds, designated as an emergency requirement under federal law, are for FEMA to cover costs under the Stafford Act, directly supporting Texas residents and communities affected by the floods. Key provisions include mandatory reporting every six months on fund distribution (geographically and by assistance type), unmet needs, and barriers to aid, with all funds required to be spent by September 30, 2028. The bill does not create new programs but allocates existing emergency funds for immediate recovery efforts.
