6/22/2010--Introduced.
Homeland Security Grant Review Act - Directs the Inspector General of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), one year after this Act's enactment and every two years thereafter, to review the grants management and oversight practices of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) with respect to the Urban Area Security Initiative grant program, the State Homeland Security Grant Program, public transportation security grants, railroad security grants, over-the-road bus security grants, and maritime transportation and facility security grants. Requires such review to assess: (1) the FEMA workforce that administers such grants; (2) any additional resources and staff necessary to carry out management and oversight; (3) coordination with other DHS components with a role in assisting FEMA in managing and administering the grants; and (4) the procedures that grant recipients must follow to obligate and expend their grant awards.

House Republican Conference Summary

The summary below was written by the House Republican Conference, which is the caucus of Republicans in the House of Representatives.

No summary available.

House Democratic Caucus Summary

The House Democratic Caucus does not provide summaries of bills.

So, yes, we display the House Republican Conference’s summaries when available even if we do not have a Democratic summary available. That’s because we feel it is better to give you as much information as possible, even if we cannot provide every viewpoint.

We’ll be looking for a source of summaries from the other side in the meanwhile.
