American Assistance Visibility Act
To require the United States flag to be displayed on United States foreign assistance.
Summary
The American Assistance Visibility Act would require the United States flag to be distinctively displayed on all foreign assistance provided by the United States to foreign countries and international organizations. The U.S. flag would be the sole visual-branding element on foreign assistance, except where required by international agreement, necessary to identify implementing partners with the flag remaining most prominent, or determined necessary by the Secretary of State for other reasons. The Secretary of State could waive the requirement in high-risk locations for safety or security reasons. The Secretary of State would be required to issue regulations specifying minimum size requirements, color accuracy, placement location, and other requirements to ensure the flag is clearly and prominently displayed. The requirement would apply to all forms of foreign assistance, including physical assets, commodities, and public outreach materials such as websites and social media posts, and would take effect for assistance provided after the bill's enactment.
