Sponsored By: Representative Rep. Mast, Brian J. [R-FL-21]
Introduced
Summary
Aligns U.S. humanitarian demining and munitions assistance with international standards. This bill would redefine "humanitarian demining assistance" to include detection and clearance of landmines, unexploded explosive ordnance, and other explosive remnants of war and to authorize training, technical assistance, education, and infrastructure development using the International Mine Action Standards, and it would redefine "stockpiled conventional munitions assistance" to include training and support for disposal, demilitarization, physical security, and lifecycle stockpile management of explosive ordnance, small arms and light weapons, including man-portable air-defense systems, using the International Ammunition Technical Guidelines.

Clearer standards for demining and stockpile safety
If enacted, the bill would update how the Department of Defense defines two kinds of aid abroad. Demining help would follow international mine action standards and cover training, equipment, infrastructure, and explosive safety. It would include finding and clearing landmines and other unexploded weapons and building national rules and procedures. Stockpile safety help would follow international ammunition guidelines for disposal, demilitarization, security, and lifecycle management. This would mainly affect partner governments, demining groups, and nearby civilians, with no direct changes for most U.S. households.
