This bill, titled the Honduras Expropriation Accountability Act, aims to enable the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States to process claims against the Government of Honduras. Its primary purpose is to provide a mechanism for United States persons to seek redress for the expropriation of their property by the Honduran government. The legislation achieves this by amending Title V of the International Claims Settlement Act of 1949, integrating the Government of Honduras into the existing framework for processing international claims. It specifies that claims can be made for expropriations occurring since January 1, 1979 , and defines the "Government of Honduras" to include its political subdivisions and agencies. Claimants will have a deadline of 60 days after the Act's enactment to file their claims with the Commission.
