Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

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

New reporting on Board funding and Gaza

If enacted, heads of federal departments or agencies that have obligated funds for the Board of Peace would have 15 days to report those obligations to four congressional committees. The President would have 30 days to submit a spend strategy describing how those obligated funds would advance sustainable peace, including goals, programs, priority countries, benchmarks, coordination, and accountability measures. The Secretary of State would have 60 days to report on the Board's goals, activities, and measurable progress in Gaza and its coordination with U.S. entities. The bill would define which congressional committees receive reports and what is meant by "sustainable peace."

Block funding, immunities for Board of Peace

If enacted, federal funds could not be appropriated for or made available to the Board of Peace on or after the date of enactment unless Congress enacts a separate law authorizing the transfer. Federal agencies would not be able to grant legal privileges, exemptions, or immunities to the Board or its officers, employees, or representatives under the International Organizations Immunities Act or any other law. The bill would also state that Congress should require revisions to any international organization charter that gives a chairman unilateral or indefinite powers before the United States participates or provides financial support.
