Bill NC prohibiting discrimination from passages for emergency aid in the house
The representatives of the State of the North Carolina have approved legislation that prohibits those who make emergency aid from discriminating against those who assist on the basis of political fictional or political discourse.
HB 251 also adds “a provision according to which no applicant for any state emergency assistance in the form of subsidies will be required to provide personal demographic information unless information is necessary to assign the grant or otherwise required by law.”
“This happened after an accident that occurred following Helene, and the word was leaving the fact that the fema was actually discriminating against people based on their political discourse,” said the representative of the republican Kelly Hastings, R-Gaston, on the floor of the house, according to Thursday The Carolina Journal. “And so it is when we decided that we may want to send a clear message on discrimination against someone based on their political discourse, since the political discourse is under our constitutional jurisprudence – perhaps the highest protected speech we have.”
The Federal Emergency Management Agency (Fema) has been hit since last year when a supervisor of the agency would have commissioned workers to avoid contacting the owners of houses with Trump signs in their construction sites after Hurricane Milton, who hit the United States about two weeks after Hurricane Helene devastated in six states. Helene was the most fatal hurricane from Katrina.

The bill approved the Chamber on April 1 with a vote of 106-10-I 10 no votes all come from the Democrats, such as The northern state reported.
The former fema supervisor who issued the instructions, Marn’i Washington, appeared on “Fox News @ Night” on November 14 and said he was “simply performing” orders from his superiors to avoid political encounters that could be hostile.

“Why is this coming to me? I am the person who noted the notes of my superiors and my notation in (Microsoft) Teams Chat was exposed by their research skills team,” said Washington, who was fired at that moment.
The administrator of the Fema on the bad conduct of the employees, Deanne Criswell, confirmed to Fox News Digital on the weekend that the supervisor was fired and that his actions were “reprove”. Another spokesman for Fema told Fox that Washington’s actions were an “isolated accident”.

But Washington insisted on the fact that it is not true, telling the tenant of Fox News, Trace Gallagher that the orders came from someone above her.
The former Fema employee said that Florida’s team had already avoided Trump’s homes of the voters before his work there.

“This was the culture. They were already avoiding these houses based on the trends of the community from hostile political meetings. It has nothing to do with the sign of the campaign. It happened to be part of the community’s tendency,” he explained at the time.
The Biden administration declared in a press release of January 22 that Fema has approved over 860 million dollars, including 507 million assistance for individuals and affected communities and over $ 351.5 million for the removal of debris and activities to save human lives, after Helene. He also distributed over 8,500 people in the area.

In February, Fema said that 153,000 families were receiving Fema assistance in the North Carolina.

Despite the efforts of the agency last year, however, many Northern Carolinians still live in trailers during the winter after losing the house in the storm expressed frustration for the government’s response to the disaster that left 107 deaths in the Tar Heel state alone.
The bill of the North Carolina, which changes the North Carolina Emergency Management Act, will now pass to the Senate.
