Combating Global Corruption Act of 2025

This bill requires the State Department to rank foreign countries each year based on how well their governments fight corruption. Corruption includes things like bribery, giving jobs to family members unfairly, fraud, and stealing public money. Countries are put into three groups: tier one countries meet anti-corruption standards, tier two countries make some effort to meet the standards, and tier three countries make little or no effort. For countries in tiers two and three, the State Department must assign someone at the U.S. embassy to work on fighting corruption and promoting good government. The State Department must also check if there are people or organizations involved in major corruption in tier three countries and consider sanctioning them under existing law.
