AI Summary

This bill, the Holocaust Insurance Accountability Act of 2023, aims to provide a federal private cause of action and subject matter jurisdiction for beneficiaries of Holocaust-era insurance policies to recover any proceeds due to them, even if their claims were previously preempted by executive branch foreign policy. It establishes a 10-year statute of limitations, prohibits certain prior judgments or settlements from barring claims, and clarifies that executive agreements or foreign policies cannot supersede or preempt state laws related to these insurance policies or disclosure requirements. The bill also preserves state laws except where they conflict with the Act, and ensures timely filing of state law claims.
