Disaster Relief Disbursement Accountability Act

This bill, titled the Disaster Relief Disbursement Accountability Act , amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act to ensure the prompt distribution of disaster relief funds. It directs the Administrator to take all necessary actions to disburse funds to eligible entities as quickly as possible following project approval under programs like the hazard mitigation grant program and public assistance programs. The legislation establishes new reporting requirements for recipients of disaster assistance. For ongoing disasters, recipients must submit a one-time report within one year detailing the average time taken to disburse funds to subrecipients; for future disasters, annual reports are required. Finally, the Administrator is mandated to compile and submit an annual summary of these recipient reports to relevant Congressional committees, starting three years after enactment, to enhance accountability in disaster fund distribution.
