H.R. 153
Post-Disaster Assistance Online Accountability Act
In Plain Language
This bill requires federal agencies that give out disaster aid—including the Small Business Administration and Housing and Urban Development—to publish details about their spending online every three months. They'll have to show the public how much aid they gave out, how much they actually spent, and what specific projects got the money. The goal is to give people a single place to see where disaster assistance dollars go.
