On the recordDecember 9, 2024
Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 9541, the POWER Act of 2024, addresses FEMA's problematic interpretation of section 403 of the Stafford Act by clarifying electric utilities are classified as essential assistance. This legislative fix allows electric utilities to work quickly to restore power following a disaster and maintain eligibility to later implement permanent fixes that include mitigation measures. Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to support this legislation, and I reserve the balance of my time.
