Taiwan SOS Act of 2026

This proposed legislation, titled the Taiwan Symbols of Sovereignty Act of 2026 , mandates that the Secretaries of State and Defense permit visiting dignitaries and service members from Taiwan to display symbols of their sovereignty. Specifically, it allows members of the Republic of China (Taiwan) Armed Forces and Government representatives, including those from the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representative Office (TECRO), to display the flag of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and corresponding military emblems or insignia. These displays are authorized for specific official purposes , such as wearing official uniforms, conducting government-hosted ceremonies or functions, and appearing on Department of State and Department of Defense social media accounts that promote engagements with Taiwan. The bill aims to formally recognize and allow the display of these national symbols during official interactions with the United States government.
