Requires new rules to stop foreign aid supplies from going to waste

This bill would make the State Department and USAID create and share clear rules for leftover foreign aid supplies. These rules would help stop medicine, food, and other items from being wasted or lost when projects finish. The goal is to make sure supplies paid for by taxpayers are used well.

What Would Change

Today, there are no clear, public rules for what happens to unused supplies when State Department and USAID foreign aid programs end. If this bill becomes law, both agencies would have 60 days to create these rules, and then publish them. These new rules would focus on making sure supplies like medicine and food are not wasted or lost.

Key Provisions

Requires the State Department and USAID to create official rules for what to do with unused supplies when foreign aid projects finish within 60 days of the bill becoming law.
Makes sure these new rules prioritize preventing leftover supplies from being lost, destroyed, or expiring without being used.
Requires the State Department and USAID to publish these new rules on their public websites.
Defines 'commodity' to include items like medicine, vaccines, medical devices, and food used for foreign assistance.
