Burma GAP Act

Key claim: The Burma GAP Act (HR4140, 119th Congress) was ordered to be reported amended by a House committee vote of 44–5.

Abstract

(HR4140 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2025-07-22): Ordered to be Reported (Amended) by the Yeas and Nays: 44 - 5.

Why this matters

Committee advancement of the Burma GAP Act signals continued congressional appetite for Burma-focused trade and sanctions measures, following the Tatmadaw’s 2021 coup. The bipartisan 44–5 vote suggests the bill has a plausible path to floor consideration, which would carry implications for U.S. importers and exporters engaging with Burma-linked supply chains. It should be tracked alongside the related No New Burma Funds Act as part of the evolving U.S. economic posture toward Burma.
