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 bill aims to highlight the essential roles of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). It expresses concern over the potential weakening of these agencies due to the reduction in their career workforce, which could compromise the safety and security of U.S. citizens.
The bill would primarily affect the operations and effectiveness of FEMA, CISA, and TSA. By recognizing their critical missions, the bill seeks to ensure these agencies have the necessary resources and personnel to carry out their duties effectively. This could lead to improved emergency response, cybersecurity, and transportation security for all Americans.
Introduced on March 26, 2026, the bill has been referred to the Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings, and Emergency Management, as well as several other committees for further consideration. It is currently in the initial stages of the legislative process.
