What this bill would do

This bill aims to abolish the United States Agency for International Development. It mandates that no Federal funds can be used for the functions, duties, or responsibilities assigned to the Agency's Administrator under the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 or other laws. Additionally, the bill requires the rescission of all unobligated balances available to the Administrator as of the day before the Act's enactment. Any remaining assets or liabilities of the Agency must be transferred to the Secretary of State.
