Taiwan Representative Office Act
S 974, the Taiwan Representative Office Act, would rename the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office in Washington, D.C., to the "Taiwan Representative Office" and update all U.S. government references to reflect this change. The bill directs the Secretary of State to negotiate the name change, ensuring all U.S. laws, documents, and court records consistently refer to the renamed office for official purposes. It explicitly states this renaming does not restore diplomatic relations with Taiwan or alter U.S. policy on Taiwan’s international status, aligning with the Taiwan Relations Act and Six Assurances. The measure directly affects the office’s official designation and how U.S. agencies and courts reference it in all records.
