The purpose of this legislation is to ensure that disaster recovery projects funded by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are managed and executed by professionals who are properly licensed in the relevant state. This aims to enhance the quality and reliability of disaster response efforts under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Key provisions of the legislation require that any activities related to disaster recovery projects, such as cost estimates and the acquisition of materials, must be performed by licensed professionals.
