The bill amends existing law to define 'local administrative entity,' increase the maximum household grant amount for disaster aid from $5,000 to $7,000, and authorize ongoing contracts for local administration of disaster aid programs.

  • Section 29C.20A, subsection 3

    The amount of a grant for a household shall not exceed five thousand dollars. → The amount of a grant for a household shall not exceed seven thousand dollars.

    This change increases the maximum amount of disaster aid grant funds available to households.

  • Section 29C.20A, subsection 2

    The department may implement an ongoing contract with a provider or providers of a statewide program with local offices throughout the state to serve as the local administrative entity for the grant program to allow implementation of the program with minimal delay when a disaster occurs in a local area.

    This change allows for ongoing contracts with local administrative entities to expedite the implementation of disaster aid programs.

  • Section 29C.20B, subsection 2

    The department may implement an ongoing contract with a provider of a statewide program with local offices throughout the state to serve as the local administrative entity for the grant program to allow implementation of the program with minimal delay following a governor’s proclamation of a state of disaster emergency or a declaration of a major disaster by the president of the United States.

    This change similarly allows for ongoing contracts to expedite disaster case advocacy program implementations.
