To amend the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to require recipients of United States foreign assistance to certify that the assistance will not be used to intentionally traffic in goods or services that contain counterfeit marks, and for other purposes.

H.R. 5249 would require any organization receiving U.S. foreign aid to certify that the funds will not be used to trade in counterfeit goods or services. This requirement extends to subrecipients and includes protections for intellectual property such as trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. If an organization is found to be intentionally trafficking in unauthorized or counterfeit items, the President would be required to suspend or terminate their funding. This measure aims to ensure that U.S. taxpayer dollars are not inadvertently supporting the global trade of pirated or fraudulent products.
