Bill Analysis

Bill Summary: HR 5961 - No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act

The No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act (HR 5961) aims to restrict U.S. government funding that could potentially support terrorism linked to Iran. The bill specifically prohibits the allocation of federal funds to any entity or individual that engages in activities that could be construed as supporting terrorism or the Iranian government’s malign influence in the region.

Key Provisions:

  • The bill mandates that no federal funds may be used to support any organization or individual that is identified as a supporter of terrorism, particularly those with ties to Iran.
  • It establishes a framework for the identification of such entities, relying on existing lists maintained by the U.S. Department of State and the Treasury.
  • The legislation also requires the Secretary of State to report to Congress on the implementation of these restrictions and the effectiveness of measures taken to prevent funding to Iranian terrorist activities.

Funding/Authorities: The bill does not provide new funding but restricts existing federal appropriations. It operates under the authority of the Foreign Assistance Act and the Anti-Terrorism Act, reinforcing existing prohibitions on funding terrorist organizations.

Programs/Agencies Affected: The primary agencies impacted by this legislation include the Department of State and the Department of the Treasury, which are tasked with enforcing the restrictions and reporting on compliance. Other federal agencies involved in foreign aid and counterterrorism efforts may also be affected.

Beneficiaries and Regulations: The bill is designed to protect U.S. interests and allies by ensuring that taxpayer dollars do not inadvertently support terrorism. It primarily benefits national security efforts and aims to safeguard communities both domestically and internationally from the threats posed by Iranian-backed terrorism.

Key Timelines: As of the latest action, HR 5961 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations for further consideration. The timeline for further action or potential passage remains contingent on committee review and subsequent legislative processes.
