This is a law that continues funding and support for the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom until the year 2026. It changes the previous funding period that was supposed to end in 2024.
Key Points:

- This means that money will continue to be given to this group for two additional years.
- This group focuses on supporting religious freedom around the world.
This law ensures that the group has enough resources for two more years beyond what was originally planned.
