The Evan Anzoo Memorial Act requires the federal government's Comptroller General to investigate and report on deaths caused by recent disruptions to U.S. international aid programs. Specifically, the bill mandates a comprehensive report within one year examining how many people died in 2025 and are expected to die over the next five years due to USAID service interruptions, particularly focusing on access to critical treatments for HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other medical services in countries like South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, and Thailand. The legislation names ten specific individuals, mostly children, who reportedly died after losing access to USAID-provided medical care, and requires investigators to determine whether these deaths resulted directly from the aid disruptions. The report must be submitted to Congress and made publicly available, with an interim update required within six months. The bill includes no specific funding amount but obligates the Comptroller General's office to conduct the investigation as part of its existing duties.
