The Parents Bill of Rights Act, which was part of the House GOP's Commitment to America agenda, and amending the bipartisan Taiwan Assurance Act are both up for votes this week in the GOP-led House.
"Empowering parents and promoting the well-being of children is a top priority of the House Republican majority," House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said at the beginning of the month when the bill was formally introduced. "
The National Education Association is one of the groups opposed to the legislation.
"I was deeply concerned when the Biden Administration decided to reimpose certain restrictions on contacts between U.S. and Taiwanese officials, a dangerous action that only emboldens China's Communist Party and weakens U.S. support for our ally Taiwan," Wagner said in a statement. "
The bill would "require periodic reviews and updated reports relating to the Department of State's Taiwan guidelines," according to House Majority Leader Steve Scalise's office.
The Taiwan Assurance Act vote is expected to take place on Wednesday when the House comes back into session.
