Bill overview
This bill, the Disaster Assistance for Rural Communities Act, aims to improve access to disaster assistance for rural communities. It modifies the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) disaster declaration process to specifically include rural areas with populations under 200,000, defining ‘significant damage’ for these areas. The bill also requires the SBA to report on challenges faced by rural communities in obtaining assistance and recommends legislative improvements. Finally, it mandates a report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) detailing these challenges and offering solutions.
