Congress 116th
Date Requested May 22, 2019
Requested By House Committee on Foreign Affairs
Date Sent May 30, 2019
Description:
H.R. 2140 would require the Administration to direct the United States’ Permanent Representative to the United Nations to use the voice, vote, and influence of the United States to support adoption of a definition of “child marriage.” It also would require the Administration to encourage the United Nations to develop a strategy to address child marriage in refugee settlements and conduct research into the issue. Advocating for those outcomes at the United Nations would not affect the federal budget, CBO estimates.
