S. 2078 (114^th): United States Commission on International Religious Freedom Reauthorization Act of 2015

An original bill to reauthorize the United States Commission on International Religious Freedom, and for other purposes.

The federal budget process occurs in two stages: appropriations, which set overall spending limits by agency or program, and authorizations, which direct how federal funds should (or should not) be used. Appropriation and authorization provisions are typically made for single fiscal years. A reauthorization bill like this one renews the authorizations of an expiring law.
