H.R. 10771 — Emergency preparedness grants for colleges
This bill would create a federal grant program for emergency preparedness at colleges. Troy Carter is the sponsor. It was introduced on October 9, 2026. It is not a law.
H.R. 10771 would create a federal grant program so colleges can apply for money for emergency preparedness. It was introduced on October 9, 2026, by Rep. Troy Carter. Congress has not posted the full text, so it is not yet clear who can get the money, how much, or whether schools with large endowments are limited.
Critics of this kind of grant say a standing federal safety net can reward schools that do not plan or budget for their own emergencies. Supporters say local campuses should not have to absorb the cost of safety alone.
You decide. Vote on H.R. 10771.
