Aid Accountability Act of 2025

The "Aid Accountability Act of 2025" establishes penalties for violations of Section 104(f) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961. Under this Act, Federal employees who knowingly violate the subsection face immediate termination, a permanent ban from Federal employment, and fiscal liability for any illegally allocated funds. Similarly, grantees, subgrantees, contractors, or other recipients of Federal funds found in violation will be barred from receiving any future Federal funding. The Secretary of State is responsible for making final determinations on violations and imposing these penalties, with such determinations reviewable only by a Federal court. The Secretary must also report to Congress within 60 days of a determination, detailing the violation, those involved, and corrective actions, and these final determinations are subject to the Congressional Review Act.
