AAC NACo


Fund supports post-disaster recovery efforts at the local level, and is a key component of disaster recovery for many counties across the country. Te Senate has not acted on the House-passed FAA reautho- rization bill to date, and is currently working with lawmakers in the House to reconcile differences between two versions of the legislation, including the attachment of the Disaster Recover and Reform Act. Te Trump Administration released a statement of adminis-


tration policy following the House passage raising concerns with the inclusion of the Disaster Recover and Reform Act, saying, “Te Administration is concerned that the Disaster Recovery and Reform Act will lead to significantly higher taxpayer spend- ing for disaster programs in the medium term, but supports ef- forts to reduce disaster risk through pre-disaster mitigation and building greater state, local, tribal, and territorial capability.” NACo will continue work with members of Congress and the administration to ensure key reforms benefiting local govern- ments are preserved in a final measure.
