United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2026

This bill extends the funding and authorization for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom through September 2028. It directly affects the Commission, which monitors religious freedom violations worldwide and advises the U.S. government on related policies. The legislation amends the International Religious Freedom Act of 1998 to update the authorization period from the original 2025-2026 timeframe to 2026-2028. This procedural change ensures the Commission can continue its operations without interruption during the extended period.
