Taiwan Assurance Implementation Act

This bill requires the State Department to regularly review and update its internal rules for how the U.S. government interacts with Taiwan, and to send updated reports to Congress after each review. The reviews must happen at least every five years, and an updated report is due within 90 days of each review. These reports must explain how the guidance supports key goals for the U.S.–Taiwan relationship and identify chances to remove unnecessary, self-imposed limits on contacts with Taiwan.

Key points:

• Who is affected: The State Department and other federal agencies; indirectly, people and businesses engaged with Taiwan as policy becomes clearer and more consistent.
• What changes: Regular reviews of the “Guidelines on Relations with Taiwan,” reissuing updated guidance to agencies, and reporting to Congress on how the guidance meets U.S. goals and where restrictions could be eased .
• When: Reviews at least every five years, with an updated report to Congress within 90 days after each review, continuing as long as the guidance is in effect.
