HR 7605 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.
African Development Foundation Termination Act of 2026
To abolish the United States African Development Foundation.
Summary
This bill abolishes the United States African Development Foundation 120 days after enactment. During the wind-down period, the President concludes the Foundation's outstanding affairs, unexpended funds are transferred to the Department of Treasury's general fund, and all assets, liabilities, contracts, property, and records transfer to the Department of State for oversight of existing multi-year grants until expiration. The bill prohibits any new grants, loans, loan guarantees, or project agreements by the Foundation after enactment and repeals the African Development Foundation Act. The Foundation must provide appropriate notice to employees regarding reductions in force in accordance with federal law.
