No Funding Without Freedom Act

Legislation Details

The legislation aims to limit funds for Afghanistan until certain conditions are met.
Funds authorized for the Department of State for Afghanistan cannot be released unless the Secretary of State certifies the release of all unlawfully or wrongfully detained U.S. nationals in Afghanistan.
The President has the authority to waive this funding limitation if it is deemed necessary to secure the release of a detained U.S. national, provided a detailed justification is submitted to Congress.
The Secretary of State is required to report to Congress on the status of unlawfully or wrongfully detained U.S. nationals within 30 days of enactment and every 90 days thereafter.
Determinations regarding unlawful or wrongful detention will be made in accordance with the Robert Levinson Hostage Recovery and Hostage-Taking Accountability Act.
The term “appropriate congressional committees” is defined to include specific committees in both the House of Representatives and the Senate.
