Bill Summary
A BILL To terminate the Shelter and Services Program of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill seeks to terminate the Shelter and Services Program administered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) that supports non-Federal entities in sheltering and related activities, specifically those aimed at relieving overcrowding in U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) short-term holding facilities. The bill, which would be known as the "End FEMA Benefits for Illegal Immigrants Act", prohibits FEMA from carrying out any programs involving facility improvements or construction to support these sheltering activities. Additionally, the bill rescinds (cancels) unobligated funding that was previously transferred to FEMA from CBP operations and support budgets in two specific appropriations acts: the Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2023 and the Further Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2024. By terminating this program and rescinding its funding, the bill aims to stop federal support for sheltering activities related to border holding facilities.
