This bill, known as the Clean Up DEBRIS Act, aims to enhance disaster relief efforts by amending the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Its primary purpose is to extend federal assistance to various types of shared housing structures following a major disaster. Specifically, the legislation introduces new definitions into the Stafford Act for residential common interest communities , condominiums , housing cooperatives , and manufactured home parks . These definitions are crucial for clarifying which entities are eligible for the expanded support. A key provision of the bill requires the President to issue rules for the removal of debris or wreckage from units within these newly defined communities. Such debris removal will be considered in the public interest when a state or local government determines it poses a threat to life, public health or safety, or the economic recovery of the community. The rules issued by the President must also defer to existing state or local laws and ordinances regarding these definitions, ensuring that disaster assistance for debris removal is more broadly available to residents of these collective housing arrangements.
