Floor Schedule and Procedure:
Under a Rule (1 bill):

H.R. 2157 – Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2019 (Rep. Lowey – Appropriations)

  • This bill is a comprehensive emergency disaster supplemental bill to help meet the urgent needs of American communities still struggling to recover from recent hurricanes, typhoons, wildfires, floods and other natural disasters.
  • This robust disaster package includes $17.2 billion in long overdue emergency spending for disaster-stricken communities across our nation and territories. It builds on the legislation that passed the House in January – including an additional $3 billion to address the urgent needs of those living in the Midwest (Nebraska, Missouri, South Dakota, Iowa and Kansas) and South (Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas) who have been devastated by flooding and tornadoes in recent months.
