House bill to reform FEMA now has more than 50 co-sponsors

from Federal Newscast

A bill in the House to reform the Federal Emergency Management Agency now has more than 50 co-sponsors. The Fixing Emergency Management for Americans Act has 35 Republicans and 21 Democrats signed onto the bill. The legislation has been steadily gaining co-sponsors as uncertainty swirls around the future of FEMA under the Trump administration. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed the bill last year. It would shift FEMA out from under the Department of Homeland Security and make major reforms to how the agency manages disaster assistance projects. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
