Bill overview
The FEMA Independence Act of 2025 proposes to establish the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) as an independent, cabinet-level agency within the executive branch. It would transfer certain grant programs currently administered by FEMA to the Department of Homeland Security and remove FEMA from DHS. The bill also creates a new Office of the Inspector General for FEMA and mandates specific qualifications for the agency’s Director, including experience in both the public and private sectors. Ultimately, the goal is to strengthen FEMA’s independence and focus on disaster preparedness and response.
