H.R. 10445, the "Further Continuing Appropriations and Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2025," is a bill that was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on December 17, 2024. The bill is intended to provide continuing appropriations for federal government operations and additional disaster relief funding for the 2025 fiscal year.
Continuing Appropriations: The bill would extend current federal government funding levels and authorities through September 30, 2025, the end of the 2025 fiscal year. This would prevent a government shutdown by continuing to fund agencies and programs at their existing levels.
Disaster Relief Supplemental Appropriations: The bill would provide an additional $45 billion in supplemental appropriations for disaster relief and recovery efforts. This funding would be available for responding to natural disasters, such as hurricanes, wildfires, floods, and other emergencies that occurred during the 2024 calendar year.
Allocation of Disaster Relief Funds: The supplemental disaster relief funds would be allocated across several federal agencies and programs, including the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Small Business Administration, and others responsible for disaster response and recovery.
Flexibility and Expedited Procedures: The bill includes provisions to provide federal agencies with additional flexibility in administering disaster relief funds and expediting certain procedures to enable faster delivery of assistance to affected communities.
Federal Agencies: The continuing appropriations and disaster relief funding would impact a wide range of federal agencies responsible for government operations and disaster response.
State and Local Governments: State and local governments in areas affected by natural disasters would be eligible to receive federal disaster relief assistance through the programs funded by this bill.
Businesses and Individuals: Small businesses, homeowners, and other individuals impacted by natural disasters would be able to access relief and recovery resources made available by the supplemental appropriations.
Timeline: If enacted, the continuing appropriations provisions would remain in effect through the end of the 2025 fiscal year on September 30, 2025. The disaster relief funding would be available for expenditure until it is fully utilized.
H.R. 10445 is a companion bill to H.R. 4136, which was previously introduced and addresses similar issues related to continuing appropriations and disaster relief. The two bills are intended to work in coordination to provide the necessary funding and authorities to maintain government operations and respond to ongoing natural disaster events.
