Bill > S4212

This bill amends Title 28 of the United States Code to strip foreign sovereign immunity for certain foreign states, allowing U.S. citizens and residents to sue for damages if they were injured in their person, property, or business due to the reckless actions or omissions of a foreign state that contributed to the COVID-19 global pandemic in the United States. The bill provides for exclusive jurisdiction in U.S. courts, allows the Attorney General to intervene and seek a temporary stay of proceedings, and extends the statute of limitations to 20 years. It also removes immunity from attachment or execution of a foreign state's commercial property in the U.S. to satisfy any judgment.
