## Summary

**Regular five-year reviews of U.S. guidance on Taiwan** would be required and successor or related guidance documents would be explicitly covered. The bill would force periodic updating and reporting so Congress and the executive branch see the same, refreshed guidance about U.S.-Taiwan relations. - Congress: Senate Foreign Relations and House Foreign Affairs committees would get an updated report within 90 days after each review. Reports must include the information already required and explain how the guidance meets the statute's goals. - State Department: The Secretary of State would have to review guidance at least every 5 years and reissue that guidance to executive branch departments and agencies. - Executive branch agencies: Departments and agencies would receive reissued guidance, making successor or related documents clearly subject to the statute's requirements. - Policy clarity: Expanding covered documents to include successors and related guidance aims to keep U.S. Taiwan policy current and transparent across the government.
