Title: Border Act of 2024
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.
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.
