Read it in plain language
1Periodic reviews and updated reports of the Department of State's Taiwan Guidelines under the Taiwan Assurance Act of 2020
This section would amend Section 315 of the Taiwan Assurance Act of 2020 (Public Law 116-260; 134 Stat. 3100), which deals with the Department of State's guidance governing relations with Taiwan. First, it would expand what Section 315(c)(1) covers so that it also includes any successor document or related document that disseminates that guidance, not only the original guidance document itself. Second, it would add a new subsection (d) to Section 315. Under that new subsection, for as long as the Department of State's Taiwan guidance described in subsection (a) remains in effect, the Secretary of State would have to conduct periodic reviews of that guidance, of the kind described in subsection (a), and submit updated reports on it, of the kind described in subsection (c), at least once every two years, counting from when the initial report under subsection (c) was submitted. Each updated report would have to include a description of how the guidance meets the goals and objectives described in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) of subsection (b) of Section 315, and an identification of opportunities and plans to lift self-imposed restrictions on relations with Taiwan.
