Yesterday, President Trump signed into law H.R. 1744, the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2026 (full text), which extends the life and authorizes appropriations for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom. The law amends 22 USC 6435(a) to now provide an appropriation of $3,500,000 for each of the fiscal years 2027 and 2028 and for the period beginning on October 1, 2028, and ending on December 31, 2028. It also amends 22 USC 6436 to extend the life of the Commission until December 31, 2028.
