Sponsored By: Representative Meng, Grace [D-NY-6]

Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.

Block State Department foreign aid rules

If enacted, this bill would nullify three Department of State final rules from January 27, 2026: "Protecting Life in Foreign Assistance" (91 Fed. Reg. 3319), "Combating Discriminatory Equity Ideology in Foreign Assistance Rules" (91 Fed. Reg. 3345), and "Combating Gender Ideology in Foreign Assistance" (91 Fed. Reg. 3332). It would treat those rules as though they never took effect. It would bar any federal department or agency from proposing, finalizing, implementing, administering, or enforcing those rules or any successor or substantially similar rules or policies. This would mainly change how federal agencies, U.S. grantees and contractors, and some recipients of U.S. foreign aid are regulated.
