Promoting Resilient Buildings Act

This bill changes how the federal government helps communities prepare for disasters. It says that FEMA can help state and local governments adopt either the newest or the second-newest building codes, and it stops a specific loan program from being used to pay for building code activities. The bill also creates a new temporary program where FEMA can give grants to government agencies, which then pass the money to individuals who need financial help making their homes stronger against natural hazards like storms or floods, using up to 10% of existing disaster-preparation funds, with the program ending after 2030.
