State Department Recurring Reports Repeal and Sunset Act of 2026
Sponsored By: Representative Self, Keith [R-TX-3]
In Committee
Summary
Cuts or cancels many recurring Department of State and foreign affairs reporting requirements. It converts many remaining reports to less frequent schedules, extends sunset dates, and removes some statutory triggers for treaty-related reports.
Show full summary
- Congress and oversight staff: Lawmakers will receive fewer mandated written updates from the State Department, reducing the regular flow of statutory reports used to track foreign policy and program implementation.
- Department of State employees: The bill reduces recurring paperwork by repealing many reporting duties and by changing reporting frequency, which shortens the number of required submissions and lengthens reporting cycles.
- Specific policy areas affected: Reporting tied to sanctions, human rights, cultural exchange, defense, and certain treaty obligations is targeted. Examples include changes to provisions in the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act, the Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, the Tom Lantos Block Burmese JADE Act, the Clean Diamond Trade Act, the Afghanistan Freedom Support Act, and the Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act.

SEC conflict-minerals reporting sunsets 2030
If enacted, this bill would limit the SEC conflict-minerals reporting rule so it ends by December 31, 2030, or earlier if another statutory trigger applies. SEC-registered public companies and firms in affected supply chains would stop required conflict-minerals filings after that date. Investors and public watchdogs would get less ongoing public information about where minerals come from. This would likely lower compliance costs for affected companies but reduce continuous disclosure for markets and civil society.
