HR 1342 United States House · 119th Congress

Stopping Political Discrimination in Disaster Assistance Act

This bill amends the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act to explicitly prohibit discrimination based on political affiliation when distributing federal disaster assistance. It directly affects all FEMA disaster aid programs by requiring that eligibility and aid distribution consider political affiliation as a prohibited factor, alongside existing protections for economic status. The key change is adding "political affiliation" to the list of protected categories in Section 308(a) of the law. This is a procedural update to existing federal disaster law with no new funding or program changes.
