Assessments
Verified bill text contains the promised FEMA monthly reporting, pending-decision/withheld-funds disclosure, and standardized open-data template requirements, and verified evidence lists Lois Frankel as a cosponsor. However, the promise is to require the reporting regime after enactment, and the verified evidence provided does not show enactment or implementation. With no documented expired deadline, this is an attributable legislative effort but not a delivered outcome.
