Condemning Federal workforce reductions that undermine preparedness, response, and recovery, and expressing concern regarding proposed future staffing cuts to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
This bill, HR1035, is aimed at addressing concerns about workforce reductions in federal agencies, particularly the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), that could impact disaster preparedness, response, and recovery efforts. The bill specifically targets proposed future staffing cuts to FEMA, expressing concern that such reductions could weaken the country's ability to handle emergencies effectively.
The bill, introduced by a group of Democratic representatives, would primarily affect federal agencies involved in emergency management and response, including FEMA. If enacted, it could influence decisions on workforce levels and resource allocation for disaster-related activities.
As of the last update, HR1035 was introduced on February 3, 2026, and has been referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management and the Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure. This means the bill is now under review by these committees, which will consider its provisions and determine the next steps in the legislative process.
