Bill > HR4983

This bill, known as the KOTEL Act (Keeping Official Territories Eligible for Land-use Act), proposes to repeal Section 414 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986. The existing law currently prohibits the use of funds for site acquisition, development, or construction of any facilities in Israel, Jerusalem, or the West Bank. By repealing this specific section, the bill would remove the funding restriction, potentially allowing federal resources to be used for facility development in these territories. The bill is straightforward in its approach, consisting of two sections: a short title section that names the act, and a second section that directly addresses the repeal of the existing prohibition. This legislative action could have implications for U.S. government-funded infrastructure or development projects in the specified geographic areas.
