State Department Recurring Reports Repeal and Sunset Act of 2026

This bill would reduce the number of reports that federal law requires the Department of State and the President to send to Congress on foreign affairs topics. It would repeal a set of existing reporting requirements, including reports under the Sergei Magnitsky Rule of Law Accountability Act, the Clean Diamond Trade Act, and the Burmese JADE Act. It would also state that the President is not required to submit certain reports called for in Senate resolutions approving treaties with Russia and Australia, and in a defense trade treaty with the United Kingdom. Other reports now due every 60, 90, 120, or 180 days would instead be due once a year. Many ongoing reports, such as those on religious freedom, Iran sanctions, and North Korea sanctions, would end after a set date, mostly in 2030 and some in 2038.
