(a) In general The Secretary of the Treasury shall direct the United States Executive Directors at the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the African Development Bank to use the voice and vote of the United States to oppose the provision by the respective bank of financial assistance for a project in any country that engages in human rights abuses, including of persons who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, or questioning, or another diverse gender identity, as reported by the Department of State in the Annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, unless the bank makes public the details of how the project would be widely inclusive for the groups that the report has identified as marginalized. (b) National interest waiver The Secretary of the Treasury may waive the requirement of subsection (a) if the Secretary determines that it is in the national interest of the United States to do so.
