Passed House Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

Summary

This act requires the U.S. Treasury Secretary to direct the American representative at the World Bank to maintain a freeze on financial disbursements and new loan commitments to the Government of Burma. The freeze was initially imposed following a military coup in 2021 that overthrew Burma's elected government. The Secretary may suspend this requirement if determined to be contrary to U.S. national interests. The bill passed the House on December 1, 2025.
