What this bill would do
H.R. 5114, known as the "No Foreign Fundraising at United States Embassies Act," prohibits the use of U.S. embassies, consulates, and other diplomatic posts for fundraising events for foreign political parties or candidates. It bans the use of both federal funds and the personal funds of U.S. officials to host these events. The bill requires the Secretary of State to update official regulations and manuals to reflect these prohibitions. This is intended to ensure the U.S. maintains political neutrality during foreign elections.
