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. financial support to entities that engage in or support terrorism linked to Iran. The bill specifically prohibits the allocation of federal funds to any organization or individual that has been identified as supporting or engaging in terrorist activities associated with the Iranian government.
Key Provisions:
- The bill mandates that federal agencies conduct thorough vetting processes to ensure that no funds are disbursed to entities with ties to Iranian terrorism.
- It requires the Secretary of State to maintain and publish a list of organizations and individuals that are barred from receiving federal funds due to their involvement in terrorism linked to Iran.
- The bill also calls for enhanced reporting requirements to Congress regarding the use of federal funds in relation to Iranian entities.
Funding and Authorities: HR 5961 does not allocate new funding but imposes restrictions on existing federal funds. It emphasizes the need for accountability in the disbursement of federal resources, particularly concerning national security and counter-terrorism efforts.
Programs and Agencies Affected: The bill primarily impacts federal agencies involved in foreign aid, defense, and counter-terrorism, including the Department of State and the Department of Defense. It may also influence programs related to international development and humanitarian assistance.
Beneficiaries and Regulatory Impact: The primary beneficiaries of this legislation are U.S. national security interests and the general public, as it seeks to prevent taxpayer dollars from inadvertently supporting terrorism. Conversely, organizations and individuals with ties to Iranian terrorism will be directly affected by the funding restrictions.
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 subsequent actions will depend on the committee’s schedule and legislative priorities.
