What's in it

See official bill text

Reduces direct spending budget authority by $18 million in 2026 with no effect on outlays; reporting requirements cost less than $500,000 over 2026-2031.

The $18 million rescission is a budget authority reduction that does not reduce actual federal spending (outlays) because those funds are no longer being used; the real impact is a reporting mandate on the State Department costing less than $500,000 to administer.
