Clean Up DEBRIS Act
This bill amends the federal disaster relief law to streamline debris removal in specific housing types after major disasters. It requires the President to issue rules allowing federal debris removal from residential common interest communities (like condos, housing co-ops, and manufactured home parks) when state or local officials determine debris poses a threat to life, health, safety, or economic recovery. The rules must respect existing state or local definitions of these housing arrangements. This change applies to disasters declared after the bill's enactment, making federal debris removal more accessible for these communities without creating new funding.
