Summary

AI-generated summary — verify against full text

The Disaster Declaration Transparency Act establishes a procedure for Congress to override a presidential decision to deny a major disaster declaration requested by a state governor under the Stafford Act. The bill requires the President to notify Congress within 24 hours when refusing a disaster declaration that contradicts FEMA's recommendation or established precedent. Either chamber of Congress may introduce a joint resolution to declare the disaster, which must be voted on within strict timelines and procedural rules designed to expedite consideration and prevent obstruction.
