Recognizing the critical missions of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and expressing concern that the systematic reduction of its career workforce has undermined those missions and endangered the safety and security of United States citizens. is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition to the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, Energy and Commerce, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Latest action on H.Res. 1138: Referred to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition to the Committees on Transportation and Infrastructure, Energy and Commerce, and Oversight and Government Reform, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
Who this affects: This resolution mainly affects people who depend on fast disaster response, secure computer systems, and safe transportation. It also affects career employees at FEMA, CISA, and TSA, because it focuses on cuts to their jobs and offices. Congress and the administration are affected because the resolution asks for reports, oversight, and a FEMA nomination.
Why this matters: Staff cuts at these agencies could change how well the country handles disasters, cyber threats, and transportation security risks. The resolution says Congress should know where the cuts happened and whether they followed laws and funding choices Congress already made. Its effect depends on what the administration and Congress do next, because the resolution itself is not binding law.
