Under this bill, the State Department must review that guidance and report to Congress every two years while the guidance is in effect.</p><p>The reports to Congress must (1) describe how the guidance takes into account certain considerations, such as the sense of Congress that Taiwan is governed by a representative government peacefully constituted through free and fair elections; and (2) identify opportunities and plans to lift self-imposed restrictions on relations with Taiwan.</p>","updateDate":"2026-04-01T16:27:33Z"},"markets":[],"stateBills":[],"meta":{"sources":["congress.gov"],"latencyMs":1019,"ts":"2026-04-15T01:15:27.716Z"},"nextActions":{"inspect":[],"related":[{"description":"Search related legislation","method":"GET","url":"/api/public/query-gov?q=Taiwan%20Assurance%20Implementation%20Act"}]}}
