Extremely low income and major disaster are defined, and States are added
What the document says“``(25) The term `major disaster' has the meaning given the term in section 102 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122).'';”
The section amends section 102(a) of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 to define persons of extremely low income by reference to section 3(b)(2) of the United States Housing Act of 1937, with the Secretary able to set alternative definitions for Puerto Rico, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, the Virgin Islands, and American Samoa, and to define major disaster by reference to the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. It also amends section 106(c)(4) to add States for use in nonentitlement areas alongside metropolitan cities and counties and to insert the word major before disaster, and makes a matching change in section 122.
What the document actually says“``(25) The term `major disaster' has the meaning given the term in section 102 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act (42 U.S.C. 5122).'';”
The words major disaster now have a set meaning. It is taken from another law.
A second new term covers people with the least income. Other changes add states to a list. That list named only cities and counties.
No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.
