AI Summary
This bill, the Iran Sanctions Relief Review Act of 2021, provides for congressional review of actions by the President to terminate or waive sanctions imposed with respect to Iran. The key provisions are:
- The President must submit a report to Congress before taking any action to terminate the application of sanctions on Iran, waive sanctions on a person, or issue a license that significantly alters U.S. foreign policy on Iran. The report must describe the proposed action and its reasons.
- Congress has 30 days (or 60 days in certain situations) to review the report, during which the President cannot take the proposed action unless Congress approves it through a joint resolution.
- If Congress passes a joint resolution of disapproval, the President is prohibited from taking the proposed action for a period of time, even if the President vetoes the resolution.
- The bill establishes procedures for the introduction, consideration, and passage of joint resolutions of approval or disapproval in the House and Senate.
