Bill Analysis

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

The No Funds for Iranian Terrorism Act (HR 5961) seeks to restrict U.S. government funding that could potentially support terrorism linked to Iran. The bill explicitly prohibits the allocation of federal funds to any program, project, or activity that could be used to finance or support Iranian terrorist organizations, including the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and its affiliates.

Key Provisions:

  • The bill mandates a comprehensive review of existing funding mechanisms to ensure that no federal funds are inadvertently directed to Iranian entities associated with terrorism.
  • It requires the Secretary of State to report to Congress on the measures taken to prevent U.S. funds from being used to support Iranian terrorism, enhancing accountability and oversight.

Funding and Authorities: The bill does not allocate new funding but rather restricts the use of existing federal funds. It emphasizes the importance of stringent oversight by the Department of State and other relevant agencies to prevent any financial support to Iranian terrorist activities.

Agencies Affected: The primary agencies impacted by this legislation include the Department of State, the Department of the Treasury, and the Department of Defense. These agencies will be responsible for implementing the bill’s provisions and ensuring compliance with the funding restrictions.

Beneficiaries and Regulatory Impact: The bill aims to protect U.S. national security interests and allies by limiting the financial resources available to Iranian terrorist organizations. It indirectly benefits U.S. citizens and international partners by promoting a more secure geopolitical environment.

Key Timelines: Following its introduction, HR 5961 has been received in the Senate, read twice, and referred to the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations for further consideration. The timeline for potential debate and voting in the Senate remains to be determined, depending on the committee’s schedule and priorities.

Overall, HR 5961 represents a legislative effort to reinforce U.S. policy against Iranian terrorism through financial restrictions and enhanced oversight.
