What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Combating International Islamophobia Act," seeks to establish an Office to Monitor and Combat Islamophobia within the Department of State. The Office would be led by a Special Envoy appointed by the Secretary of State. This Office is tasked with monitoring and combating acts of Islamophobia and Islamophobic incitement occurring in foreign countries. Additionally, the bill mandates the inclusion of specific information regarding Islamophobia in various annual State Department reports. These reports would cover human rights practices and international religious freedom. The new reporting requirements would apply 180 days after the act is enacted.
