We have received text from H.R. 10932: Snowfall Assistance Transparency Act. This bill was received on 2026-10-29, and currently has no cosponsors.
Here is a short summary of the bill:
This bill would change how FEMA and the President handle requests for federal disaster declarations, especially for snowstorms and other snowfall events.
What it would require FEMA to share
Within 1 year, FEMA would have to update its regulations so that when FEMA sends a recommendation to the President about whether to declare a major disaster, FEMA must also provide that recommendation to the requesting Governor or tribal leader at the same time it is sent to the President.
What the President would have to explain
If the President approves or denies a major disaster declaration, the President would have to give the requesting Governor or tribal leader a detailed written explanation. That explanation would need to include:
- Any problems or gaps in FEMA’s recommendation;
- Why the damage did or did not overwhelm the state or tribal government’s ability to respond;
- How loss of life and ongoing public safety risks were considered;
- The total amount of damage the President used in deciding whether to approve the declaration;
- How local government response capacity was evaluated; and
- Whether severe local impacts or recent multiple disasters in the area were considered.
Special process for snowstorms
Within 2 years, FEMA would have to create an enhanced process for deciding whether to recommend a major disaster declaration for a snowstorm or other snowfall event.
Under this process, FEMA could recommend a disaster declaration even if the snowfall was not a record-setting or near-record event, if other factors support it. FEMA would have to consider additional snow-related factors, including:
- Local impacts at the county and city level;
- The state’s snow removal response plan;
- The state’s total and available snow removal budget;
- Any snow removal contracting agreements the state has;
- Any snow removal agreements with other states; and
- Any other impacts on people or property FEMA thinks are relevant.
Practical effect
The bill is mainly about transparency and guidance in disaster-declaration decisions. It would give state and tribal officials more information about how decisions are made, and it would give FEMA more specific factors to weigh when considering federal disaster aid for snowstorms.
