Spending Safeguard Act

United States · United States Congress · 8 September 2017

Spending Safeguard Act This bill requires the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to establish spending limits for direct spending programs that: (1) are enacted or reauthorized after enactment of this bill, and (2) do not have a specific level of authorized spending expressed as a dollar amount. The spending limits must be equal to: (1) 120% of the cost of the program for defense, health, Medicare, income security, Social Security, and veterans benefits and services programs; and (2) 110% of the cost for any other program. The OMB must maintain a publicly available scorecard that displays the spending level for any program that is subject to the limits. The OMB and the President must submit specified reports to Congress comparing current spending to the limits. The bill prohibits obligations for programs that have reached the applicable spending limit. Agencies implementing programs listed on the OMB's scorecard must ensure that any contract, offer of benefits, or other material provided to program participants specifies that the program is subject to a spending limit that may impact future availability of funds to pay benefits.

The Gephardt rule: (1) provided for an automatic engrossment and transmittal to the Senate of a joint resolution changing the public debt limit, upon the adoption of a budget resolution; and (2) avoided a separate vote in the House on public debt-limit legislation.

To amend the Federal Crop Insurance Act to limit the overall rate of return for crop insurance providers and remove the requirement of budget neutrality in the Standard Reinsurance Agreement.

United States · United States Congress · 7 September 2017

This bill amends the Federal Crop Insurance Act to modify the requirements for the federal crop insurance program.

Question 654 — transports aériens

France · National Assembly · 7 August 2017

M. Thibault Bazin attire l'attention de M. le ministre d'État, ministre de la transition écologique et solidaire, sur la situation financière de la Direction générale de l'aviation civile. En effet, cet organisme qui concentre l'ensemble des missions de l'État dans le domaine de l'aviation civile serait en cessation de paiement. Il y aurait un véritable blocage des crédits empêchant le règlement des contrats en cours. Il lui demande ce qu'il compte faire pour mettre fin à cette situation afin que les engagements et les contrats soient respectés.

Question 640 — sécurité des biens et des personnes

France · National Assembly · 7 August 2017

M. Alain Bruneel alerte M. le ministre d'État, ministre de l'intérieur sur les conséquences des multiples annulations d'événements sportifs, culturels ou festifs dans notre pays depuis le déclenchement de l'état d'urgence. Considérant que la sécurité des participants comme des spectateurs doit être la priorité et que le risque zéro n'existe pas contre les actes terroristes dans notre pays, il considère normal de mettre en place des mesures de sécurisation des événements populaires importants. Néanmoins, il remarque que ces exigences et consignes de sécurité poussent bon nombre d'acteurs associatifs et de communes à petits moyens à annuler purement et simplement leurs initiatives faute de budget suffisant pour remplir les critères à respecter. Les conséquences sont multiples : mise en péril des finances des associations porteuses des événements, perte de lien social dans les communes, baisse de dynamisme pour la vie locale, les commerçants, les habitants, disparition de multiples épreuves sportives, etc. Face au danger de la psychose, il considère qu'il est important de pouvoir maintenir une vie locale dense et active. D'autant que c'est par la culture, le sport, ou les rassemblements festifs et conviviaux que nous favorisons le vivre ensemble tout en démontrant notre capacité à faire bloc derrière les valeurs de notre devise républicaine. Il lui demande comment l'État peut accompagner, y compris financièrement, les communes ou les acteurs associatifs, sportifs, culturels dans l'organisation des événements afin que ceux-ci puissent être maintenus au maximum.
