Bill > HR1370

This bill proposes to transfer unobligated funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to the Disaster Relief Fund, which supports federal emergency response efforts under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief and Emergency Assistance Act. Specifically, the bill defines "covered funds" as any unobligated (not yet spent) funds that were previously appropriated to USAID as of the bill's enactment date. These funds would be redirected to support major disaster relief efforts, such as responding to natural disasters, emergencies, or catastrophic events that require federal assistance. The bill, officially known as the USA FIRST Act (Unobligated Spending Adjustment to Focus Investment on Relief and Support for Taxpayers Act), aims to reallocate unused international development funds to domestic disaster response, potentially providing additional resources to help communities recover from significant emergencies.
