## Summary

**Authorizes the President to extend diplomatic privileges and immunities under the International Organizations Immunities Act to the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).** The bill would add a new section to the IOIA that allows the executive branch to apply the same terms and conditions to CARICOM as it does for other public international organizations in which the United States participates.
