Work to codify the Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance policy by preventing U.S. foreign assistance from funding abortion, abortion promotion, DEI, or gender ideology.

U.S. Senators Jim Risch (R-Idaho) and Ted Budd (R-N.C.) introduced the Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance Act today to codify the Trump Administration’s Promoting Human Flourishing in Foreign Assistance (PHFFA) Policy. This legislation would reinstate and expand Mexico City Policy by preventing U.S. foreign assistance from being used to fund abortion or the promotion of abortion, discriminatory equity ideology (DEI), and radical gender ideology.

Risch led legislation intended to make permanent a policy barring U.S. foreign assistance from funding abortion-related activities, DEI, and gender ideology programs.

The SFRC legislation tracker lists S.4873 with last action on 06/23/2026. Its title describes amending the Foreign Assistance Act to restrict nonmilitary foreign assistance for organizations tied to abortion, gender ideology, or discriminatory equity ideology.

In the lookback window, a Senate bill matching the commitment's core codification target appeared in the official SFRC legislation list. This is concrete movement toward codification, but not enactment.

Congress.gov states enacted bills and joint resolutions appear on its public-laws list after public law numbers are assigned. Searches of the page found no matching text for abortion, foreign assistance, or gender.

The official public-laws list does not show a codifying public law for this policy, so the commitment has not been fully delivered by enactment as of the refresh.

The White House said Trump signed a memorandum reinstating the Mexico City Policy and that the policy prevents U.S. taxpayer money from supporting foreign organizations that perform or promote abortion.

The underlying anti-abortion foreign-assistance policy was restored by executive action, but this evidence is executive implementation rather than statutory codification.

AP reported that the administration was expanding the foreign-aid abortion ban to cover organizations and agencies promoting gender identity or DEI, with final State Department rules expected.

Strong reporting indicates the executive policy was broadened to the DEI and gender-identity elements of the commitment, but it still does not show codification by Congress.

Executive Order 14169 directed a pause and review of foreign development assistance and said no foreign assistance should be disbursed unless aligned with presidential foreign policy.

This official executive action supports the broader foreign-aid realignment context, but it is not a congressional codification of the specific policy commitment.
