Madam Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Madam Speaker, I am proud to be a cosponsor of H.R. 5673, the Safeguarding Tomorrow through Ongoing Risk Mitigation--STORM--Technical Corrections Act, which makes necessary corrections to the STORM Act passed late last Congress. This bill recognizes and implements the latest two installments of the building code and makes additional corrections, including those related to definitions for insular areas, to the mitigation revolving loan fund created in the STORM Act last Congress to ensure parity. This language reflects previously agreed-upon bipartisan language in the 116th House version of the STORM Act. I thank Chair Titus for her work and leadership on this bill, and I appreciate the bipartisanship found in this legislation. I urge support of this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
