AI Summary

This bill, the Supporting U.S. Engagement in Expos Act of 2022, authorizes the use of funds appropriated to the Department of State for U.S. participation in international fairs and expositions. Specifically, it allows the Department of State to use appropriated funds for constructing and operating U.S. pavilions or other major exhibits at these events, up to $20 million. The bill requires a cost-matching approach, where the U.S. government's contribution must be matched by other sources to the maximum extent possible. The Department must also notify Congress before obligating these funds and submit a final report on the number of U.S. businesses that participated and the sources of matching funds obtained.
