Six Assurances to Taiwan Act
Sponsored By: Senator John Curtis
Introduced
Summary
Establishes a mandatory congressional review mechanism for any U.S. action that would pause, change, or negotiate away arms sales or alter policy toward Taiwan.
Show full summary
It would also codify and reaffirm the Six Assurances and related U.S. policy principles about Taiwan.
- Executive branch actions that would pause or terminate defensive arms, negotiate with the People’s Republic of China about such arms, mediate sovereignty, change U.S. sovereignty policy, or pressure Taiwan would require advance notification to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations.
- Notifications would trigger a 30-calendar-day congressional review window and a 60-day review if submitted between July 10 and September 7. During that review no funds may be spent to further the proposed action unless Congress enacts a joint resolution approving it.
- Congress would gain expedited authority to introduce and consider joint approval or disapproval resolutions, giving lawmakers a quick path to block or approve proposed changes.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
3 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 3 mixed.
Bans after Congress disapproves Taiwan moves
If enacted, the bill would bar the President and federal officials from taking a proposed covered action or spending money on it in certain disapproval scenarios. A joint resolution of disapproval enacted by Congress would permanently prohibit the action and related expenditures. If both Houses pass a disapproval resolution before enactment, the ban lasts 12 calendar days after passage. If Congress passes it and the President vetoes it, the ban lasts 10 calendar days after the veto.
Presidential notice for Taiwan actions
If enacted, the President would have to send written notice to congressional leaders and to the Foreign Relations and Foreign Affairs Committees before certain Taiwan actions. Covered actions include pausing defensive arms transfers, negotiating with China about such transfers, mediating sovereignty, changing U.S. position on Taiwan sovereignty, or pressuring Taiwan to negotiate. The notice must say if the action would significantly change U.S. policy and explain effects on security, the economy, and sovereignty. Congress would normally get 30 calendar days to review the notice, or 60 days if filed between July 10 and September 7.
Fast-track votes on Taiwan measures
If enacted, the bill would set exact text and fast procedures for joint resolutions that approve or disapprove covered Taiwan actions. Only party leaders or their designees could introduce the resolution during the review period. Committees would have 10 days to act or be discharged. In the Senate, debate on a veto message would be limited to 10 hours.
