Bill > S821

This bill amends the Taiwan Assurance Act of 2020 to enhance reporting requirements for the U.S. Department of State's guidelines on relations with Taiwan. Specifically, the bill requires the Secretary of State to conduct a comprehensive review of the Department's Taiwan-related guidance at least every five years, including the periodic "Guidelines on Relations with Taiwan" and any related documents. After each review, the Secretary must reissue the guidance to executive branch departments and agencies and submit an updated report to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations and the House Committee on Foreign Affairs within 90 days. The report must include all previously required information and explain how the updated guidance aligns with the original act's goals and objectives. By mandating these periodic reviews and reports, the bill aims to ensure that U.S. policy towards Taiwan remains current, transparent, and consistent with strategic objectives, while providing congressional oversight of the State Department's approach to Taiwan-related diplomatic guidelines.
