Congress lets electric utilities pair hazard-mitigation work with federal disaster power-restoration aid. The bill amends Section 403 of the Stafford Act so an electric utility may carry out cost-effective hazard-mitigation activities jointly or otherwise in combination with power-restoration activities funded by emergency assistance under that section. It also provides that a utility facility receiving Section 403 assistance for emergency restoration of power stays eligible for any Section 406 hazard-mitigation assistance it otherwise qualifies for. The change applies only to amounts appropriated on or after enactment.
Each stop is a step the bill’s own record states, with the date it happened. A ring is a step not yet taken. A bill becomes law when the President signs it or Congress overrides a veto.
At least 9 organizations named this measure in a lobbying filing. A floor, not a total: they were counted by the client name on 39 quarterly reports filed by 4 lobbying firms and by 5 organizations lobbying for themselves in 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. An organization that lobbied this measure without naming it is not counted here.
The filings record that lobbying was reported on the measure. The form has no per-bill dollar figure and no field for a position, so nothing here says how much was spent or which side an organization took.
5 of them, in no ranking: Northeast Public Power Association; National Association of Mutual Insurance Companies; American Public Power Association; Buildstrong America, Inc.; National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA). Listed as filed, in the order the filings were read, and 4 others are not shown. These are not the largest, the earliest or the most active: we keep five names per measure, and the filings give no ranking.
From the LD-2 quarterly lobbying filings published at lda.gov by the Senate Office of Public Records. Read for 2025 Q1, 2025 Q2, 2025 Q3, 2025 Q4, 2026 Q1, 2026 Q2 and 2026 Q3. Our copy holds 24 fewer filings for 2025 Q1, 39 fewer filings for 2025 Q2, 42 fewer filings for 2025 Q3, 33 fewer filings for 2025 Q4, 28 fewer filings for 2026 Q1, 48 fewer filings for 2026 Q2 and 218 fewer filings for 2026 Q3 than the Senate's register counts, so those quarters are the filings we could read rather than every one filed. 2026 Q4 is still inside its filing window, so that quarter is only the filings posted so far.
