Federal Emergency Management Continuity Act of 2025
# Federal Emergency Management Continuity Act of 2025 – Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would allow FEMA to continue spending money from its Disaster Relief Fund during a government shutdown. Currently, when Congress fails to pass a budget and the government shuts down, FEMA stops using these funds even if money is available.

The bill would also allow FEMA employees necessary to process these payments to continue working during a shutdown. **Who It Affects** This legislation primarily affects disaster victims and communities waiting for FEMA assistance during a shutdown.

More broadly, any state or individual receiving federal disaster relief funding would be protected from delays caused by a government shutdown. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
Natural Disaster Risk Reinsurance Program Act
# Natural Disaster Risk Reinsurance Program Act Summary **What the Bill Would Do** The Natural Disaster Risk Reinsurance Program Act would establish a federal reinsurance program to help manage the financial impact of major natural disasters. Reinsurance is essentially "insurance for insurance companies"—it helps insurers cover their losses when disasters strike. This program would create a federal backup system to stabilize insurance markets after catastrophic events like hurricanes, earthquakes, or wildfires, potentially making insurance more affordable and available in disaster-prone areas. **Who It Affects and Key Details** The bill would primarily affect homeowners and businesses in areas vulnerable to natural disasters, as well as insurance companies operating in those regions. By providing federal financial support during major disasters, the program aims to prevent insurance companies from pulling out of high-risk markets and to keep insurance premiums more stable and affordable for residents. This is particularly relevant for coastal and hurricane-prone states like Florida, where the bill's sponsor is located. **Current Status** As of now, the bill remains in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It has not advanced to become law.
To make technical amendments to update statutory references to certain provisions classified to title 7, title 20, and title 43, United States Code, and to correct related technical errors.
# HR 5204 Summary **What the Bill Does:** HR 5204 is a technical correction bill designed to update outdated legal references in federal law. Specifically, it fixes references in three areas of the U.S. Code: Title 7 (Agriculture), Title 20 (Education), and Title 43 (Public Lands). The bill also corrects related errors that may have accumulated in these sections over time. These are "housekeeping" measures meant to ensure that the law accurately reflects current statutory language. **Who It Affects:** The changes would primarily affect federal agencies and officials who implement laws related to agriculture, education, and public lands management. Citizens and businesses in these sectors could be indirectly affected if outdated references have caused confusion or inconsistencies in how regulations are applied, though such technical fixes typically have minimal real-world impact. **Current Status:** As of the latest update, HR 5204 is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House. The bill was introduced by Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) in the 119th Congress.

# HR 4461 Summary **What the Bill Would Do:** This bill would change the rules for donations to Presidential Libraries and Centers—the museums and archives that preserve records and artifacts from U.S. presidents. Currently, there are few restrictions on how much money private donors or organizations can give to these institutions. The bill would add new limits to these donations, though the specific limits aren't detailed in the available information about the bill. **Who It Affects:** The bill would primarily affect wealthy donors, corporations, and foundations that contribute to Presidential Libraries, as well as the libraries themselves. It could also impact future presidents by potentially limiting the funding available for their presidential libraries after they leave office. **Current Status:** The bill was introduced by Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and is currently in committee, meaning it hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. The specific details about what donation limits would be imposed are not included in the available bill information.

FEMA Independence Act of 2025
# FEMA Independence Act of 2025 – Plain Language Summary **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would make FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) an independent agency that reports directly to the President, rather than being part of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) as it currently is. The FEMA Director would automatically become a Cabinet-level position, meaning they would have a permanent seat at the President's table and be confirmed by the Senate. The bill also transfers certain grant programs related to protecting communities and nonprofits from terrorism from FEMA to DHS. FEMA would have one year to complete the transition and would keep its 10 regional offices and existing responsibilities for disaster response and emergency management. **Who It Affects** This change would primarily affect FEMA employees and leadership, as well as state and local emergency management officials who work with FEMA. Communities relying on FEMA disaster assistance, nonprofit organizations receiving counterterrorism protection grants, and the federal agencies involved in emergency management would also be impacted by the reorganization. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives.
MSD Act
# MSD Act Summary **What It Would Do** The Measures for Safer School Districts Act (HR 1335) aims to improve school safety and emergency preparedness. If passed, it would require all public schools receiving federal education funding to develop detailed emergency response plans covering situations like active shooters, bomb threats, and natural disasters. Schools would also need to strengthen interior and exterior doors, and establish systems to quickly notify parents when emergencies occur on school grounds, during transportation, or at school-sponsored events. **Who It Affects** The bill applies to all public school districts across the country that receive federal funding, as well as students, staff, and families at those schools. It sets federal standards that would apply uniformly, though schools would have flexibility in how they implement the specific requirements. **Current Status** The bill was introduced by Representative Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) in the 119th Congress and is currently in committee, meaning it has not yet been voted on by the full House.
