Title: Border Act of 2024

Vote Smart's Synopsis:

Vote to invoke cloture on a bill that authorizes emergency supplemental appropriations for border security and combatting fentanyl for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.

Highlights:

  • Authorizes emergency supplemental appropriations of billions for border security and combatting fentanyl trafficking for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024, and for other purposes (Title II-VIII, Sec. 201-801).

  • Specifies that the provisions of this bill shall become effective immediately upon passage and approval by the President (Title VIII, Sec. 801).

NOTE: INVOKING CLOTURE REQUIRES A 3/5 MAJORITY OF THE SENATE. IT IS NOT A VOTE ON THE PASSAGE OF THE PIECE OF LEGISLATION, BUT LIMITS FURTHER DEBATE TO 30 HOURS. CLOTURE IS TYPICALLY USED TO END A FILIBUSTER. A FAILED CLOTURE VOTE OFTEN PREVENTS THE LEGISLATION FROM EVER COMING TO A VOTE.
