Summary

Requires the State Department to review and reissue its guidance on relations with Taiwan at least once every five years and to deliver an updated report to the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee within 90 days after each review. The report must include the information already required by law and explain how the revised guidance meets stated objectives. The law also sets a short title for the Act.
