This bill would end major U.S. sanctions on Syria. It repeals the 2012 Syria Human Rights Accountability Act and the 2019 Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act, which together have restricted trade, banking, and other dealings with Syria and many Syrian-linked individuals and entities.

In everyday terms, lifting these sanctions would likely make it easier for U.S. companies, banks, and nonprofits to do business or provide aid involving Syria, and for people with ties to Syria to send money or engage in travel and commerce that had been blocked by these laws.

Who is affected: U.S. businesses and banks, humanitarian groups, Syrian American families, and people or firms engaging in trade with Syria.
What changes: The two main U.S. sanction laws targeting Syria are repealed, removing those legal limits and penalties.
When: The changes would apply once the bill becomes law.
