To transfer unobligated funds from the United States Agency for International Development to the Disaster Relief Fund.

Referred to the House Committee on Appropriations.

Bill 119 hr 1370, also known as the "Transfer of Funds to Disaster Relief Fund Act," aims to transfer unobligated funds from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to the Disaster Relief Fund. The purpose of this transfer is to provide additional resources for disaster relief efforts in the United States.

The bill specifies that the funds transferred must be unobligated, meaning that they have not been designated for a specific purpose or project. By reallocating these funds to the Disaster Relief Fund, the government can ensure that there are adequate resources available to respond to natural disasters and other emergencies that may arise.

Supporters of the bill argue that it is important to prioritize domestic disaster relief efforts and ensure that the necessary funding is available to assist communities in need. By transferring unobligated funds from USAID to the Disaster Relief Fund, the government can better allocate resources and respond quickly and effectively to disasters. Critics of the bill may argue that transferring funds from USAID could impact international aid programs and initiatives. However, proponents of the bill emphasize the importance of prioritizing domestic disaster relief efforts and ensuring that the United States is prepared to respond to emergencies at home. Overall, Bill 119 hr 1370 seeks to enhance the government's ability to provide timely and effective disaster relief by transferring unobligated funds from USAID to the Disaster Relief Fund.
