Disaster Aid Without Delay Act of 2026
This bill, titled the Disaster Aid Without Delay Act of 2026, would prevent the Secretary of Homeland Security from using policies that set fixed dollar limits on how quickly disaster relief money can be spent. It directly affects the Federal Emergency Management Agency by stopping it from requiring additional approvals or delaying payments when spending reaches certain arbitrary amounts. The law defines monetary thresholds as any fixed dollar requirement that conditions or delays fund disbursement, ensuring disaster assistance can be released without artificial spending caps.
