This proposed legislation aims to expand the categories of individuals denied admission to the United States. Its core purpose is to prevent entry for those who are subject to sanctions under Executive Order 13876 , which pertains to imposing sanctions with respect to Iran. Specifically, the bill amends Section 407(a)(1) of the Foreign Relations Authorization Act, Fiscal Years 1990 and 1991. This amendment adds a new criterion, requiring the denial of admission for any individual sanctioned under the specified Executive Order as of September 16, 2025. This legislative change would strengthen existing visa enforcement by codifying a denial of entry for individuals targeted by these particular Iran-related sanctions.
