Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to prohibit in any bill, joint resolution, or conference report appropriating funds for relief and emergency assistance in response to major disasters the inclusion of any provision which appropriates or otherwise makes available funds for any other purpose.

HRES 47 is a procedural resolution that would amend House rules to prohibit any bill, joint resolution, or conference report funding disaster relief from including unrelated spending provisions. It would make it "out of order" to consider such measures if they bundle disaster relief funds with appropriations for other purposes. This rule would apply to all disaster relief funding under the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act, requiring that these measures contain only provisions directly related to responding to major disasters.
