Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act

United States · United States Congress · 18 January 2024

Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to establish a grant program to support operating projects for public transportation and related service improvements, particularly in underserved communities and areas of persistent poverty. Specifically, the bill requires DOT to allocate funding under the program for urbanized areas, states, and Indian tribes that are recipients of funds under either the Federal Transit Administration's (FTA's) Urbanized Area Formula Funding program or Formula Grants for Rural Areas program. Eligible recipients may use funding for operating costs associated with projects that improve public transportation service for transit-dependent populations and support increased transit ridership (e.g., service expansion, information technology enhancements, and workforce development). The bill requires DOT to apportion the funding so that recipients receive funds that are proportional to their share of operating costs. The bill also provides for an increased federal cost share for operating assistance for projects or programs carried out in areas of persistent poverty or underserved communities. DOT must set up a multimodal access measurement interface for public agencies to aid transit agencies in determining and reporting on access to jobs and essential services. A grant recipient must also (1) report specific information to the FTA for inclusion in the National Transit Database, and (2) survey transit riders and non-riding residents regarding transit service improvements. Further, the bill expands the purposes of the public transportation programs to include supporting public transportation's role in combating climate change through growing/retaining transit ridership.

INSURE Act

United States · United States Congress · 10 January 2024

Incorporating National Support for Unprecedented Risks and Emergencies Act or the INSURE Act The Department of the Treasury must establish a catastrophic property loss reinsurance program that provides reinsurance to qualifying insurance companies. (Reinsurance protects insurers from large losses.) To qualify for reinsurance coverage, insurers must offer an all-perils insurance policy for residential or commercial property and offer incentives to policyholders for activities that reduce losses. The bill provides for a phase-in of the program over several years to cover different catastrophes and perils, including floods, hurricanes, and wildfire. When flood coverage is phased in, the National Flood Insurance Program may no longer issue new policies. The bill establishes the threshold for payouts, guidelines for premium rates, and a Federal Catastrophe Reinsurance Fund for the purpose of investing the premiums paid by insurers and for the issuance of notes and bonds. Treasury must establish a grant program to incentivize investments in loss-reduction activities and to encourage states to require insurers to offer an all-perils property insurance policy. Treasury must report on the feasibility of (1) funding the relocation of homes and businesses that have become uninsurable, and (2) including earthquakes as a peril in all-peril policies. Earthquakes must be added to the program as a covered peril at the earliest of eight years after the date of enactment or the date on which the report is submitted. Treasury must also establish a pilot program for multiyear all-perils property insurance.

Poverty Line Act of 2023

United States · United States Congress · 6 December 2023

Poverty Line Act of 2023 This bill revises the methodology used to calculate the federal poverty guidelines. The federal poverty guidelines are used to determine eligibility for many federal and state public assistance programs, including the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), and the National School Lunch Program. The poverty guidelines are currently calculated by adjusting the Census Bureau’s poverty thresholds to account for changes in the Consumer Price Index. The bill requires the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to calculate regional poverty guidelines based on a combination of factors including average household expenditures on food, clothing, utilities, and transportation; the average cost of rental housing; and the average cost of health insurance. These factors shall be calculated using regional data as applicable. HHS must make available to the public a tool for determining the poverty guideline applicable to a given household.  The new regional poverty guidelines established by HHS may not be lower than existing, corresponding poverty guidelines as of the date of enactment of the bill. HHS shall review and evaluate the poverty guidelines at least every four years and propose changes to this methodology as appropriate.  The bill shall take effect three years after its enactment.
