What this bill would do

This bill is titled the "Global Health, Empowerment and Rights Act." It aims to change how foreign nongovernmental organizations qualify for assistance under part I of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. Specifically, it seeks to prevent these organizations from being deemed ineligible for assistance based solely on the health or medical services they provide using their own funds. It also addresses requirements regarding how they use non-United States Government funds for advocacy and lobbying.
