Summary

Extends diplomatic-style immunities and privileges to the Gulf Cooperation Council mission and its members.

Show full summary
  • Gulf Cooperation Council mission and members: Would be eligible for the privileges and immunities enjoyed by diplomatic missions and their staff if the President extends them. This can include protections for mission premises and official acts.
  • Presidential authority: Gives the President explicit authority to extend or enter agreements to extend those immunities and to set corresponding conditions consistent with existing law.
  • Federal budget and operations: The text contains no new mandatory appropriation. Any fiscal effects would depend on later treaties or appropriations under the existing framework.

Diplomatic protections for Gulf Cooperation Council staff

If enacted, the President could extend to the Gulf Cooperation Council and its members the protections usually given to diplomatic missions in the U.S. Any extension would follow the International Organizations Immunities Act and conditions the President sets.
