HR 1370 United States House · 119th Congress

USA FIRST Act

This bill redirects unspent funds from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to the federal disaster relief fund. It requires transferring any unobligated USAID funds - those not yet committed to specific projects as of the bill's enactment - to support disaster response under the Robert T. Stafford Act. The change affects USAID's budget by shifting unused resources to immediate disaster relief efforts, rather than new spending. This is a procedural reallocation of existing funds, not new funding.
