No Foreign Fundraising at United States Embassies Act

This bill would bar the use of federal money, or the personal money of a U.S. ambassador or other U.S. official, to host a fundraising event for a foreign political party or candidate at a U.S. embassy, consulate, other diplomatic post, or the official's residence. It would change two existing laws so the State Department cannot pay for receptions or other functions meant to raise money for foreign parties or candidates. The Secretary of State would have to revise State Department rules and manuals to reflect these limits and to discourage embassy activities that could be seen as helping one foreign party or candidate financially. The Secretary would then have to certify to the House and Senate foreign affairs committees that the revisions were made.
