HR 7271 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.
To require the Comptroller General to submit a report on the effects of the United States Agency for International Development stop work order, the discontinuation of USAID services, and the shuttering of USAID, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill requires the Comptroller General to investigate and report on the effects of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) stop work order, discontinuation of services, and shuttering. The report must estimate the number of deaths in 2025 attributed to these actions and project estimated deaths over the following five years due to loss of USAID services. The report must also determine whether specific named individuals died as a result of losing access to USAID-provided healthcare services such as HIV/AIDS treatment, malaria treatment, and oxygen supply. The Comptroller General must provide an interim update within 180 days of the bill's enactment and submit a final report within one year, both to be made publicly available.
