Bill > HR6100

This bill amends existing federal law to clarify the criminalization of female genital mutilation (FGM). It expands the scope of the law to cover a broader range of FGM-related conduct, including attempts, conspiracies, and cases where a parent or guardian facilitates or consents to the FGM of a minor. The bill also specifies that FGM is prohibited even if it is required by religion, custom, tradition, or standard practice. Additionally, the bill adds provisions establishing a connection to interstate or foreign commerce, which confirms Congress's authority to prohibit this practice. The bill also requires the Attorney General to submit an annual report on the prevalence of FGM in the United States and the actions taken by federal agencies to address it.
