Bill > HR1744

This bill seeks to extend the authorization and funding for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) through fiscal year 2028. Specifically, the bill amends two sections of the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998, changing the authorized fiscal years for appropriations from 2025-2026 to 2027-2028 and extending the commission's authorization period from September 30, 2026, to September 30, 2028. The USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan U.S. government advisory commission that monitors religious freedom internationally and makes policy recommendations to the President, Secretary of State, and Congress. By reauthorizing the commission, the bill ensures continued support for monitoring and reporting on religious freedom violations worldwide, allowing the USCIRF to maintain its important work of promoting religious liberty as a fundamental human right.
