Summary of Bill HR 2179

Bill 118 hr 2179, titled "To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for U.S. Department of Interior, Insular Affairs, Compact of Free Association for fiscal year 2024," aims to place restrictions on the funds available for the U.S. Department of Interior's Insular Affairs office in relation to the Compact of Free Association for the fiscal year 2024.

It is important to note that this bill does not seek to eliminate funding for the Compact of Free Association entirely, but rather to place restrictions on the availability of funds for this specific purpose for the fiscal year 2024.
