HR 10309 United States House · 118th Congress

Build America First Act

This bill prohibits new federal funding for specific foreign aid programs, including development assistance under the Foreign Assistance Act (sections 103, 105, 106, 214, 251-255, and chapter 10). It redirects any unspent funds previously allocated to these programs toward disaster relief efforts for Hurricanes Helene and Milton under the Stafford Act. The bill directly affects U.S. foreign aid programs focused on international development, halting new spending but not impacting existing commitments. Unobligated funds from these programs will be transferred to emergency assistance budgets for the named hurricanes.
