more "potential" action by congress to push back on eliminating disaster mitigation funding
A proposed piece of legislation doesn’t really carry any weight whatsoever. For example, from the Internet, “The U.S. Congress introduces thousands of bills each year, with recent Congresses seeing around 10,000 to over 17,000 total pieces of legislation (bills, resolutions) introduced per two-year session, though only a small fraction, often less than 10%, actually become law. For instance, the 117th Congress (2021-2023) introduced roughly 15,000-17,000 bills and other legislative items, while the 118th Congress (2023-2025) saw over 17,000 introduced, with about 600-1200 enacted.”
However, it is always heartening to see some form of action and accountability being taken by Congress to push back on the elimination by the Trump Administration of all mitigation grants in 2025. This proposal below deals specifically with BRIC.
