Streamlining FEMA Procurement Procedures Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill changes how local governments can hire construction managers when using federal disaster relief money from FEMA. Currently, local governments must choose construction managers mainly based on who offers the lowest price, but this bill would let them choose based on qualifications instead of price when rebuilding after disasters. The bill also raises the limit for simplified paperwork from $1 million to $3 million, meaning local governments can get disaster funds based on cost estimates rather than detailed receipts for projects up to $3 million instead of just $1 million.
