Requires U.S. foreign assistance commodities — including perishable and nonperishable food, medicines, vaccines, and medical devices — to be made available to their intended beneficiaries before they spoil or expire. Agencies must move funds quickly to deliver or donate commodities held by partners, avoid destroying items when reasonable distribution is possible, and regularly report to Congress about any expired, spoiled, or destroyed assistance and why it was not delivered.
Also records findings that U.S. food, health, and family planning assistance saves lives, supports U.S. farmers and economies, and that destroying aid meant for people in need is unethical. The law adds delivery, anti-destruction, rapid-funding, and reporting requirements to the Foreign Assistance Act framework.
Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
