United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2024

The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2024 extends funding and operational authorization for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) through fiscal year 2026. It amends the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to update annual appropriations from 2023-2024 to 2025-2026 and extends the Commission's legal authorization period until September 30, 2026. This reauthorization ensures USCIRF can continue its existing work of monitoring global religious freedom violations and providing policy recommendations to the U.S. government. The bill directly affects USCIRF by securing its continued operation and funding without changes to its core responsibilities.
