Read twice and referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations.
This bill lets the President treat weapons and other military gear that the U.S. seizes while they are being sent from Iran to the Houthis in Yemen as U.S. property. The President could then use this gear as part of U.S. stocks and send it to partner countries, as allowed by existing aid rules . It also requires a report to Congress within 180 days, and every year after, listing how often this power was used and inventories of what was seized and what was given to partners .
| Who is affected | What changes | When |
|---|---|---|
| U.S. government and foreign partner countries | Seized weapons from Iran-to-Houthi shipments can be added to U.S. stocks and sent to partners | Reporting due 180 days after the law starts, then yearly |
