No Foreign Fundraising at United States Embassies Act

This bill, titled the "No Foreign Fundraising at United States Embassies Act," establishes a clear policy of strict political neutrality for the United States in the internal electoral processes of foreign countries. Its primary purpose is to prohibit the use of U.S. diplomatic resources, including embassies, consulates, and other posts, for fundraising events benefiting foreign political parties or candidates. This prohibition applies to both federal funds and the personal funds of U.S. Ambassadors or other officials, ensuring that diplomatic facilities do not confer financial or electoral advantages. To enforce this policy, the bill amends existing statutes, such as the Foreign Service Act of 1980 and the State Department Basic Authorities Act of 1956, to restrict expenditures for activities intended to raise funds for foreign political entities. Furthermore, it mandates the Secretary of State to revise the Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) and the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM). These revisions must explicitly prohibit the use of diplomatic posts for foreign political fundraising and discourage any activity that could be perceived as promoting the financial interests of one foreign political party or candidate over others. The Secretary is required to certify these regulatory updates to Congress within 90 days of the Act's enactment.
