DEBATE - The House proceeded with 10 minutes of debate on the motion to recommit with instructions, pending reservation of a point of order. The instructions contained in the motion seek to report the same back to the House forthwith with an amendment to ensure that the Attorney General may not reduce or eliminate any funding provided to a State, or a political subdivision of a State, if the Attorney General determines that the reduction or elimination would result in: (1) an increase in the overall crime rate, including an increase in domestic violence, sex trafficking, or crimes against children; or (2) a decrease in the number of trained law enforcement officers. Subsequently, the point of order was withdrawn.
