Rescissions Act of 2025

This act rescinds specified unobligated funds that were provided to the Department of State, the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), various independent and related agencies, and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 

The rescissions were proposed by the President under procedures included in the Congressional Budget and Impoundment Control Act of 1974. Under current law, the President may propose rescissions to Congress using specified procedures, and the rescissions must be enacted into law to take effect. 

Specifically, the act rescinds funds that were provided to the State Department or the President for

  • Migration and Refugee Assistance;
  • the Complex Crises Fund;
  • the Democracy Fund;
  • the Economic Support Fund (excluding funds for assistance to Jordan, Egypt, or the Countering PRC Influence Fund);
  • Contributions to the Clean Technology Fund;
  • International Organization and Programs;
  • Development Assistance (excluding funds for Feed the Future Innovation Labs, the Countering PRC Influence Fund, or commodity-based food aid);
  • Assistance for Europe, Eurasia, and Central Asia;
  • International Disaster Assistance (excluding funds for commodity-based food aid); and
  • Transition Initiatives.

The act also rescinds funds that were provided for 

  • USAID Operating Expenses,

  • the U.S. African Development Foundation,
  • the U.S. Institute of Peace, and
  • the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.
