Faster and Smarter Funding for First Responders Act of 2005
Sponsor: CHRISTOPHER COX (R-CA)
Faster and Smarter Funding for First Responders Act of 2005 - (Sec. 3) Amends the Homeland Security Act of 2002 to set forth provisions governing Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant funding for first responders pursuant to the State Homeland Security Grant Program, the Urban Area Security Initiative, and the Law Enforcement Terrorism Prevention Program. Excludes non-DHS programs, fire grant programs, and the Emergency Management Performance Grant program and Urban Search and Rescue Grants program authorized by specified Federal laws. Makes eligible for a covered grant any State, region, or directly eligible tribe.
Emergency Management Topic assigned by the Congressional Research Service. CRS gives each bill one topic, based on the bill as introduced. This one carries 106 subject terms, so it spans well beyond that single label.
