This bill amends the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to establish specific provisions for a group termed "Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors." It creates an exception for these creditors, ensuring that certain subsections of the Act do not apply to them or their associated assets, particularly if they previously sought to participate in the Fund or applied for conditional payments. A key provision mandates the immediate release and payment of all funds previously allocated to and withheld from these Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors. Furthermore, the bill guarantees their eligibility to participate in all future rounds of payments on par with other eligible claimants. The legislation defines a "Havlish Settling Judgment Creditor" as a plaintiff or their successor with an eligible claim arising from the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks , specifically identified in the 2014 court order for "In re 650 Fifth Avenue and Related Properties."
