Panel approves Representative Alexander’s bill to exempt disaster grants from some procurement steps
Summary
Representative Alexander said HB1467 exempts disaster grants administered by 'team of' from certain procurement requirements to speed disaster relief; the subcommittee advanced the bill unanimously.
Representative Alexander told the committee that, after recent storms, existing state procurement requirements could delay disaster relief and that HB1467 would exempt disaster grants administered by "team of" from the usual procurement steps so communities can receive aid more quickly. He said the change aims to remove bureaucratic delays in future disaster responses.
