AI Summary
This bill, called the "No Support for Terror Act," aims to prevent countries involved in genocide or terrorism from receiving Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and stop U.S. tax dollars from indirectly supporting terrorist organizations. Specifically, the bill requires the U.S. Treasury Secretary to instruct the U.S. Executive Director at the IMF to oppose and advocate against allocating SDRs to countries identified by the State Department as perpetrators of genocide or state sponsors of terrorism. Additionally, the bill mandates a comprehensive review by the Treasury Secretary, Secretary of State, and USAID Administrator to ensure that U.S. assistance is not being channeled to the Taliban or other terrorist organizations. Within 90 days of enactment, these officials must submit a report to Congress detailing their findings, and within 180 days, they must require all prime recipients of U.S. assistance to provide evidence that their sub-recipients are complying with U.S. anti-terrorism financing laws. The goal is to create multiple layers of oversight to prevent U.S. financial resources from supporting terrorist activities or entities.
