Urges President and Congress to enact legislation forgiving community disaster loans issued after Superstorm Sandy.

This New Jersey Senate Concurrent Resolution urges the President and Congress to pass legislation that would forgive community disaster loans issued to municipalities after Superstorm Sandy. The bill directly affects New Jersey towns and residents who received federal disaster funding in 2013 and are now facing pressure to repay those loans. It also seeks to remove restrictions that prevent recipients of those loans from receiving additional federal aid during the COVID-19 pandemic by updating duplication of benefit policies. The resolution does not create new laws but instead asks federal officials to enact existing proposed legislation that would provide financial relief to affected communities.
