S 2062 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to prohibit United States contributions to international organizations that advocate for sexual activity by persons who are younger than the domestically prescribed minimum age of consent.

This bill prohibits U.S. government funding to international organizations that advocate for or support sexual activity involving minors below the legally established age of consent in their country. It specifically blocks aid to groups that seek to decriminalize such activity, argue it could be consensual in fact (despite being illegal), or oppose laws recognizing minors cannot legally consent. The provision applies to all U.S. foreign assistance programs under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. It directly affects international organizations working on youth sexual health or rights if their advocacy challenges national age-of-consent laws. The policy change is a funding restriction, not a new criminal law.
