Summary
This bill amends the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to require that U.S. foreign assistance commodities—including food, medicine, vaccines, and medical devices—be made available to their intended beneficiaries before they expire or spoil. The bill prohibits destruction of such commodities unless all efforts to sell, donate, or distribute them have been exhausted. It also requires the State Department, USAID, and Department of Agriculture to submit annual reports to Congress detailing any commodities that expired, spoiled, or were destroyed without reaching beneficiaries, including the reasons and costs involved.
