Bill > HR1512

This bill amends the Taiwan Assurance Act of 2020 to enhance reporting and review requirements for the Department of State's guidelines on relations with Taiwan. Specifically, the bill mandates that the Secretary of State conduct a comprehensive review of the Taiwan guidelines at least every five years, which includes reissuing the guidance to executive branch departments and agencies. Within 90 days of completing each review, the Secretary must submit an updated report to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. These reports must include all previously required information about U.S.-Taiwan relations and explain how the updated guidelines meet the established goals and objectives of maintaining robust unofficial relations with Taiwan. The bill also expands the definition of relevant documents to include successor or related guidance documents, ensuring a more comprehensive and flexible approach to documenting U.S. policy toward Taiwan. This legislation aims to provide more transparent and regularly updated guidance on U.S. diplomatic interactions with Taiwan, reflecting the evolving geopolitical landscape in the Asia-Pacific region.
