HR-5641 : Still Just a Bill


Small Project Efficient and Effective Disaster Recovery Act or the SPEED Recovery Act

This bill increases to $1 million the threshold for eligibility for assistance for what qualifies as a small project under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act, thereby allowing more recovery projects to proceed under simplified procedures.

The threshold must be reviewed every three years.
