I am reintroducing this in the form that passed the Senate. It will probably be changed through the deliberations. We need to try and get some form of this passed, though.

Alas, my final bill to the Senate.

I am going to miss your bill format, as it will likely die in your absence. It is a marked improvedment over the lazy notepad scribles some in this Senate through together and call legislation.

Maybe I should mandate it in the OSPR. Evil

I urge a Senator (preferably our NE Senator) to sponsor this immediately.  We desperately need Federal assistance, as regional efforts to repair the Northeast after our disastrous hurricane simply aren't enough.



A BILL

To direct resources and funds to all areas affected by the recent Hurricane Sandy.

SECTION ONE. TITLE

This legislation may be cited as the 'Natural Disaster Relief Act of 2012.'

SECTION TWO. APPROPRIATIONS

1.) $5 billion shall be set aside for repair and restoration of infrastructure that was damaged by Hurricane Sandy. This money shall also be available to provide aid to individuals and families hurt by the storm including supplementation of food, medicine, medical care, temporary housing or other forms of aid as shall be designated by regional and local disaster relief officials.

2.) $2 billion shall be set aside for infrastructure enhancements to help prevent future hurricane damage.

3.) Monies from clauses 1 and 2 shall only be made available to the Northeast and Mideast Regions.

SECTION THREE. PROCESS FOR DISTRIBUTION

1.) The Governor of the Northeast Region shall prepare a report and request the funds needed for repairs as outlined in section 1 from the SoIA.

2.) No less than 80% of the funds from Section 1, Clause 1 shall be appropriated to the Northeast. Beyond that requirement, the SoIA has the discretion to appropriate the funds from Section 1, Clauses 1 and 2 as he sees fit.

3.) Any monies not appropriated to the regions by January 31st, 2013, shall be returned to the general fund.

I would be prepared to immediately move the reasonably necessary funds which this bill would request and join the Governor in asking this bill to be moved through the Senate with haste; lives are at stake, Senators.
