The Disaster Declaration Transparency Act establishes a procedure allowing Congress to override a presidential decision to deny a major disaster declaration requested by a state governor under the Stafford Act. When the President declines a disaster declaration contrary to FEMA's recommendation or based on a recommendation that deviates from established precedent, the President must notify Congress within 24 hours with a written explanation. Either chamber may then introduce a joint resolution within 14 days to declare the disaster, with expedited floor procedures including automatic committee discharge after 2 days, limited debate (4 hours in the House, 10 in the Senate), and no amendments allowed.
