## Summary

**A dedicated Office to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia** would be created inside the Department of State to track and respond to anti‑Muslim violence and incitement abroad. The bill would also expand annual foreign policy reports to document the nature, extent, and government responses to Islamophobia. - Muslim communities abroad would receive systematic U.S. assessments documenting physical violence and harassment, vandalism of Muslim institutions, propaganda that incites hatred or violence, government responses, legal protections, and anti‑bias education. - The Secretary of State would be required to establish the Office within 120 days and appoint a Special Envoy who may come from current State Department staff and may retain their prior position. - Annual reporting under the Foreign Assistance Act and the International Religious Freedom Act would be amended to include specified Islamophobia elements, and the Special Envoy must consult domestic and international NGOs and multilateral organizations to prepare these assessments. The reporting changes would take effect 180 days after enactment.
