the Defining Humanitarian Demining Assistance Act of 2025

HR 4190, the Defining Humanitarian Demining Assistance Act of 2025, clarifies definitions for two types of U.S. foreign assistance programs under existing law (10 U.S.C. §407). It precisely defines "humanitarian demining assistance" as activities to detect and clear landmines and explosive remnants of war, including training and equipment based on international standards. It also defines "stockpiled conventional munitions assistance" as support for safely managing and disposing of weapons stockpiles, including small arms and missiles. The bill directly affects U.S. government programs providing foreign aid for mine clearance and explosive ordnance safety, ensuring consistent application of these definitions in aid delivery.
