This law tells the Treasury Secretary to direct the U.S. voice and vote at the Bank. It should push more focus on Latin America and the Caribbean's poorest countries and areas. It should also back Multilateral Investment Fund programs for low-income groups, NGOs, and former combatants.

The Secretary of the Treasury must direct the U.S. Executive Director of the Bank to use the United States' voice and vote to support two things: giving more focus to the poorest countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to poorer areas within better-off countries; and supporting Multilateral Investment Fund programs, especially ones targeting low-income countries and populations, working with nongovernmental organizations, and training and assisting former combatants from Latin American civil conflicts.
