Latest action on H.R. 764: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects foreign nonprofits that receive, or want to receive, U.S. development or global health aid. It also affects U.S. agencies that decide which groups qualify for that aid. The bill could matter in countries where foreign nonprofits use separate funding for health services, counseling, referrals, advocacy, or lobbying that is legal under local law.

Why this matters: This bill matters because aid decisions can affect whether health and development programs continue in other countries. It would make it harder for the U.S. to deny aid because of what a foreign nonprofit does with money that did not come from the U.S. Government. The bill could give foreign partners more predictable funding rules. It could also reduce U.S. control over some activities carried out with other funding sources.

Key provisions in H.R. 764

• The bill applies to aid under part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. That part of the law covers many U.S. development and global health programs overseas.
• The U.S. could not deny this aid to a foreign nonprofit only because the group uses non-U.S. Government money for health or medical services. That includes counseling and referrals.
• The health or medical services must be legal in the country where the nonprofit provides them.
• Foreign nonprofits could not face tougher rules than U.S. nonprofits on advocacy or lobbying done with non-U.S. money. This applies when both receive the same type of aid.
• The bill says these rules apply even if another law, regulation, or policy conflicts with them. That gives this bill priority for this type of aid decision.
