Federal Emergency Mobilization Accountability (FEMA) Workforce Planning Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Passed the Senate without a recorded vote, then expired. It passed by voice vote or unanimous consent, which don't record how each member voted, but didn't become law before the 118th Congress ended.

What it does: CRS summary · Introduced in Senate · Apr 18, 2024
Federal Emergency Mobilization Accountability (FEMA) Workforce Planning Act
This bill requires the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to develop and submit to Congress every three years a human capital operating plan to shape and improve FEMA’s workforce.
Specifically, the plan must include performance measures to track staffing and training, an analysis of the current workforce and possible gaps in staffing or skills, and a plan of action to address such gaps. The plan must discuss the membership and training of the Surge Capacity Force, through which federal employees deploy in response to a catastrophic disaster.
FEMA must submit the first plan within one year after the bill’s enactment and subsequent plans at least once every three years.
The bill also requires the Government Accountability Office to submit a report analyzing whether FEMA’s plan meets the requirements of the bill, including any recommendations to ensure subsequent plans meet the requirements.
