Protecting Human Rights and Public Health in Foreign Assistance Act

This bill would cancel three State Department rules on foreign assistance that were published on January 27, 2026. The rules are titled "Protecting Life in Foreign Assistance," "Combating Discriminatory Equity Ideology in Foreign Assistance Rules," and "Combating Gender Ideology in Foreign Assistance." The rules would be treated as though they had never taken effect. Federal agencies would be barred from carrying out or enforcing these rules, and from creating or enforcing any successor or substantially similar rules or policies.
