On motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill Agreed to by voice vote. (text: CR H1838)
Received in the Senate and Read twice and referred to the Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
This bill removes the expiration date from the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, so those sanctions continue unless changed by a future law. It also states that the United States should fully carry out and enforce that sanctions law. The Iran Sanctions Act requires the President to place penalties on people or companies involved in certain dealings tied to Iran’s energy sector or efforts to get or build dangerous weapons, like chemical, biological, or nuclear arms. Congress notes concerns about Iran’s weapons programs and support for terrorism, including the Revolutionary Guards.
