relative to the maximum amount of disaster relief funding provided to municipalities after a natural disaster.

HB 165 sets a $25 million maximum cap on federal disaster relief funding that municipalities can receive after a natural disaster. This directly affects cities and towns in the state that apply for federal disaster assistance following events like floods or storms. The key provision establishes this specific funding limit to prevent municipalities from exceeding a defined threshold for recovery aid. The bill became law on May 29, 2025, and takes effect July 28, 2025.
