This bill mandates the imposition of sanctions against the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC) and any associated foreign persons or organizations. These sanctions are a direct response to the PRC's documented history of terror attacks, including their participation in the October 7, 2023, attacks against Israel. The legislation requires the President to implement these measures within 90 days of enactment. The imposed sanctions include the blocking of property and financial transactions of the PRC and its affiliates within U.S. jurisdiction. Additionally, individuals associated with these groups will be deemed inadmissible to the United States , ineligible for visas, and any existing visas will be revoked. Exceptions are provided for compliance with international obligations, such as the UN Headquarters Agreement, and for authorized U.S. intelligence or law enforcement activities. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to submit an initial report within 90 days, assessing whether the Lion's Den and the Popular Resistance Committees meet the criteria for designation as Specially Designated Global Terrorists or Foreign Terrorist Organizations . Subsequent reports are mandated every two years to identify and assess new entities operating under the PRC's umbrella. The President retains authority to implement these sanctions, waive them for national security interests, or terminate them if a sanctioned entity ceases terrorist activities or disbands.
