To require the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to administer the Next Generation Warning System grant program and disburse obligated funds under such program, and for other purposes.
This bill directs the FEMA Administrator to take over administration of the Next Generation Warning System grant program, requiring them to disburse all existing obligated funds within 180 days and begin awarding new grants for fiscal years 2023 and 2024. It mandates the Secretary of Homeland Security to conduct research on improving emergency warning system accessibility, security, and resiliency within one year, with a report to Congress within two years. The bill primarily affects state, local, tribal, and territorial governments that receive these grants for emergency warning systems. It focuses on streamlining existing grant administration and research, without creating new funding or policy changes.
