This bill would make it harder for the President to give sanctions relief to certain Iranian people and organizations linked to terrorism. In general, it would ban new licenses or waivers that would allow transactions with these sanctioned parties unless the President tells Congress that they have stopped supporting or taking part in terrorism. The bill is aimed at Iranian individuals and entities that were already on Treasury’s terrorism sanctions list as of January 20, 2021. It also says the bill should not be read to change certain general permissions that were already in place on that date.
- It blocks new licenses or waivers for transactions with covered Iranian individuals and entities unless the President certifies they have ended their involvement in terrorism.
- The people and groups covered are those listed by the Treasury Department’s sanctions office as of January 20, 2021 under a terrorism-related executive order.
- The President would have to notify four congressional committees: the House Foreign Affairs Committee, House Financial Services Committee, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Senate Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs Committee.
- The bill does not change general licenses that were already in effect on January 20, 2021 for transactions involving these sanctioned parties.
