Bill 119 hr 1744, also known as the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Extension Act, aims to extend and authorize annual appropriations for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) through fiscal year 2026. The USCIRF is an independent, bipartisan U.S. government commission that monitors and reports on religious freedom violations around the world.
If passed, this bill would ensure that the USCIRF continues to receive funding to carry out its important work of promoting religious freedom and advocating for the rights of individuals to practice their faith without fear of persecution. The bill would provide the necessary resources for the USCIRF to conduct research, issue reports, and make recommendations to the U.S. government on how to address religious freedom violations.
By extending and authorizing annual appropriations for the USCIRF through fiscal year 2026, this bill demonstrates a commitment to upholding religious freedom as a fundamental human right and supporting efforts to protect individuals of all faiths from discrimination and persecution. It is an important piece of legislation that highlights the United States' dedication to promoting religious freedom both domestically and internationally.
