Motion

Renew the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010

S4M-15157 · Standard Motion · lodged by Gibson, Kenneth

That the Parliament notes with concern the decision by the US Congress not to renew the James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act of 2010, which was named after the New York Police Department officer, James Zadroga, who died of a respiratory disease believed to have been contracted when responding to the 11 September 2001 (9/11) attacks on the USA; understands that the Act, which was introduced after years of campaigning, has provided fully-funded healthcare to 9/11 responders who became ill following the courageous work that they carried out in the immediate aftermath of the attacks; believes that, despite claims that the sites at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and Shanksville were safe, many developed cancers, respiratory and pulmonary diseases as a result of the air pollution that they faced; is aware that the Act was only funded for a five-year period to assess whether there was widespread fraud and to examine the likelihood of a scientific link between the illnesses developed and the conditions at the sites; understands with disappointment that, despite no instances of fraud being found and strong medical evidence to link the sites with subsequent illness, claims will not be renewed and that the final funds allocated in September 2015 will shortly be exhausted; supports the surviving first responders who have travelled to Washington DC to protest about this, and considers that, given the sacrifices that the responders made to their country in its hour of need, the Congress should show support to these brave individuals by renewing and fully-funding the Act.

No division on record. Either the chamber agreed this motion without a vote, it was withdrawn before debate, or it predates 2011 — vote-by-vote records only run from then.

Possible final motion text as originally lodged

No carried amendments applied

This is a computer’s best guess at applying carried amendments to the original motion text. It uses simple text rules for phrases such as “insert at end”, “after X insert Y”, and “leave out from X to end and insert Y”. Treat it as an aid, not the official motion text.
