Dossier Legislative introduced 17-jun-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

A bill to permit visiting dignitaries and service members from Taiwan to display the flag of the Republic of China.

Key claim: Senate bill S3018 would permit visiting dignitaries and service members from Taiwan to display the flag of the Republic of China.

Abstract

(S3018 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-06-17): Committee on Foreign Relations. Ordered to be reported with an amendment in the nature of a substitute favorably.

Why this matters

U.S. protocol has historically restricted display of the ROC flag during official Taiwan visits to avoid signaling formal recognition, so a statutory carve-out would mark a modest but visible shift in how the executive branch manages Taiwan symbolism. The bill has no direct fiscal impact but could affect diplomatic posture with Beijing and set precedent for congressional intervention in day-to-day diplomatic protocol.
