What this bill would do

It requires the creation of a public assistance dashboard on the FEMA website. This dashboard must track information related to public assistance awards for every major disaster declared by the President. The tool is designed to provide details on cost estimates, project descriptions, and approval statuses. Additionally, it requires explanations for unapproved estimates or delays in the grant timeline.
