Read FactVote summary
The bill would establish a National Commission to Combat Child Marriage in the United States within the Department of Health and Human Services to study child marriage and issue interim and final reports, with $1.5 million authorized for fiscal years 2027 and 2028. It would require recurring Government Accountability Office reports on child marriage and immigration, authorize grants to eligible states for task forces, and provide increased violence-prevention formula grants to states that prohibit marriage below age 18, subject to specified limits. It would also modify immigration requirements for marriage-based visas and require federal agencies to provide multilingual public education about those changes.
