Directs the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Small Business Administration to override state and local permitting processes that delay Los Angeles wildfire disaster rebuilding and replace them with a federal self-certification system for compliance with health and safety standards.

The order requires proposed permitting regulations within 30 days, final regulations within 90 days, legislative proposals within 90 days, an initial grant funding review within 30 days, a federal audit within 60 days, and administrative enforcement actions within 30 days after the audit is completed.
