Bill Summary

A bill to codify Executive Order 14115 imposing certain sanctions on persons undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank.

AI Summary

This bill, known as the "SANCTIONS in the West Bank Act," codifies Executive Order 14115, which imposes sanctions on individuals or entities undermining peace, security, and stability in the West Bank. The bill ensures that the sanctions originally outlined in Executive Order 14115 will remain in effect starting from the date of enactment and continue until certain conditions are met. The President has the authority to terminate sanctions for a specific person if they can demonstrate that they are no longer engaging in the sanctioned activities or have taken significant verifiable steps to stop such activities, and provide reliable assurances of future compliance. When seeking to terminate sanctions, the President must notify specific congressional committees (the Senate's Committee on Foreign Relations and Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs, and the House's Committee on Foreign Affairs and Financial Services) at least 15 days in advance, or as soon as possible in exigent circumstances, but no later than 3 business days after termination. The bill also reinstates sanctions that were previously revoked by Executive Order 14148, effectively reinforcing the original sanctions regime targeting those who disrupt peace and stability in the West Bank.
