Appropriations act: its conditions govern fiscal year 2024 funds unless the text says “hereafter.” Later appropriations acts often repeat them.

Statutory Text

(f) Assessment.—Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act and every 90 days thereafter until September 30, 2025, the Secretary of State, in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence and other heads of elements of the intelligence community that the Secretary considers relevant, shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report assessing whether funds appropriated by this Act and made available for assistance for the West Bank and Gaza have been diverted to or destroyed by Hamas or other terrorist and extremist entities in the West Bank and Gaza: Provided, That such report shall include details on the amount and how such funds were made available and used by such entities: Provided further, That such report may be submitted in classified form, if necessary.

How the Date Is Worked Out

  1. Enacted Mar. 23, 2024 (Pub. L. 118-47).
  2. Text: “Not later than 90 days after the date of enactment of this Act.” Mar. 23, 2024 + 90 days = June 21, 2024.
  3. Text ends the recurrence on Sept. 30, 2025.
  4. Fiscal year 2024 ended (Sept. 30, 2024); no deadline falls after that date.
  5. Recurs every 90 days, running from the first deadline: June 21, 2024 + k × 90 days.
  6. Text ends the recurrence when a condition is met (“until September 30”); dates continue until public evidence shows it was met.
  7. As of Nov. 11, 2026: the last deadline was Sept. 19, 2024; the recurrence has ended.

Delivery Status

Public Evidence

  • No public document located that shows delivery.

Evidence Searched

  • GovInfo Congressionally Mandated Reports collection: 1,209 packages listed; titles searched for Middle East terms; 55 State, Defense, Treasury and executive-office summaries checked for citations to Pub. L. 118-47 (0 found) (Oct. 17, 2026)
  • Federal Register API: phrase “UNRWA”: 4 document titles searched (Oct. 17, 2026)
  • MEF hand review: evidence.json, items with a link and a note on what the document shows (Oct. 17, 2026)

A status of “Reported late by GAO, committee or agency” appears only with a linked GAO, committee or agency statement. Reports sent only to committees, or in classified form, leave no public trace; their absence here is not evidence of a missed deadline.

Review

  • Machine-extracted by rule from the public law text; awaiting named human review.
