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.

Bill 118 HRES 47, also known as the Amending the Rules of the House of Representatives to Prohibit Inclusion of Non-Disaster Related Provisions in Disaster Relief Bills, aims to prevent the inclusion of unrelated provisions in bills, joint resolutions, or conference reports that appropriate funds for relief and emergency assistance in response to major disasters.

The bill specifically prohibits the appropriation or availability of funds for any purpose other than disaster relief in these types of legislation. This means that lawmakers would not be able to sneak in funding for unrelated projects or programs under the guise of disaster relief.

The goal of this bill is to ensure that funds allocated for disaster relief are used solely for that purpose, without being diverted to other areas. By keeping the focus on providing assistance to those affected by major disasters, the bill aims to streamline the relief process and ensure that resources are used efficiently and effectively. Overall, Bill 118 HRES 47 seeks to promote transparency and accountability in the allocation of funds for disaster relief, and to ensure that those in need receive the assistance they require in a timely and appropriate manner.
