AI Summary This summary was generated by AI from the bill text. AI can get information wrong.
This bill would end the work of the U.S. Agency for International Development by stopping federal money from being used for its programs and responsibilities. It would also cancel unused money already set aside for the agency and move any remaining property, debts, or obligations to the Secretary of State. In short, the bill would shut down USAID’s functions and shift what is left to the State Department.
- After the bill becomes law, no federal funds could be used for any duties or programs assigned to the agency’s administrator under current foreign aid law or any other law.
- Any money that had been approved for the agency but had not yet been spent would be taken back by the government.
- Any assets or liabilities the agency still has would be transferred to the Secretary of State.
