This bill repeals a statute requiring the Department of Homeland Security to limit to no more than 150 days the duration of certain noncompetitive contracts facilitating response to or recovery from a natural disaster, act of terrorism, or other man-made disaster. The bill also states that it is the sense of Congress that the repealed statute has been rendered obsolete by changes to law and regulation.
