Amends subsection (a) to replace the fiscal years '2025 and 2026' with '2027 and 2028' for the authorization of appropriations.
Strikes the termination date 'September 30, 2026' and inserts 'September 30, 2028', extending the Commission's termination date by two years.
Extends the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) for two more years. It updates the authorization to cover fiscal years 2027 and 2028 and moves the program’s expiration date to September 30, 2028.

It simply keeps USCIRF operating and eligible for future appropriations through 2028, with no new requirements on states, localities, or the private sector.
