Bill > HR5265

This bill, the Holocaust Insurance Accountability Act of 2019, aims to provide for the restoration of legal rights for claimants under Holocaust-era insurance policies. The key provisions include: creating a new federal private cause of action and subject matter jurisdiction to allow beneficiaries of Holocaust-era insurance policies to sue insurers and related companies to recover proceeds; foreclosing defenses to claims based on prior judgments or settlement agreements; establishing a 10-year statute of limitations for actions under the Act or state law; and preventing executive agreements or foreign policy from preempting state laws related to Holocaust-era insurance claims or disclosure requirements.
