Recognizing the critical missions of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and expressing concern that the systematic reduction of its career workforce has undermined those missions and endangered the safety and security of United States citizens.

This resolution has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to four committees for review. For it to advance, these committees would typically review it, and then it would need to be scheduled for a vote in the full House. As a House Resolution, it expresses the sentiment of the House and does not go to the Senate or become law.

If the workforce reductions described in this bill continue, you might experience delays and less effective help during natural disasters. Your personal data and critical services could face higher risks from cyberattacks due to fewer cybersecurity experts. Travelers could face longer wait times at airports and potentially compromised security screening, as stated in the bill.

The House resolution explicitly states that these workforce reductions were made without specific congressional authorization, potentially violating appropriations laws, and have been found unlawful by federal courts. The bill's supporters believe that these agencies rely on a stable, professional career workforce to fulfill their vital missions, which are now at risk.
