Cigna earnings beat by $0.04, revenue topped estimates
Investing.com -- A bipartisan bill introduced in the House of Representatives on Thursday would make the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) report directly to the U.S. president rather than the Homeland Security secretary.
The legislation, backed by House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves, a Republican from Missouri, and ranking member Rick Larsen, a Democrat from Washington state, also includes provisions to allow FEMA to reimburse states for costs associated with sheltering emergency personnel following natural disasters.
This proposal comes amid ongoing discussions about the agency’s future. President Donald Trump has previously stated his intention to close FEMA and has assembled a committee of governors, mayors, and emergency managers from disaster-prone states to recommend changes by fall.
