There is a new proposal aimed at giving tax relief to families hit by a disaster and ensuring federal funds are available to those who need it following Hurricane Idalia and the Maui wildfires.
The bill would fully fund FEMA’s disaster relief program and give tax relief for qualified families impacted by a disaster.
Scott said he discussed his measure with President Biden during his visit to Florida over the weekend. But the bill comes as Congress faces a separate debate over the federal budget, which is set to expire at the end of the month. “Unfortunately, it is my understanding that at least one member of the Senate Democratic Caucus plans to block the immediate passage of this legislation to provide Americans with urgently needed relief unless it is accompanied by foreign aid for Ukraine,” wrote Scott.
