Bill > HR9546

This bill, the Venezuela Advancing Liberty, Opportunity, and Rights Act of 2024 or the "VALOR Act of 2024", seeks to promote democracy in Venezuela. It outlines U.S. policy to support a peaceful transition to democracy in Venezuela through diplomatic tools, including sanctions on the Maduro regime and any non-democratic successor government. The bill defines criteria for determining when a democratically elected government is in power, and it authorizes support for democratic and human rights groups, international observers, and humanitarian assistance to the Venezuelan people. The bill also imposes financial sanctions on the Maduro regime and restricts U.S. and international support for non-democratic Venezuelan governments, while providing for the termination of such sanctions once a democratically elected government is established.
