Bill Summary
A bill to amend the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to provide rules for payments to Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors.
AI Summary
This bill amends the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to create special provisions for "Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors", which are plaintiffs or their estates who have eligible claims related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and are specifically identified in a 2014 court order from a case involving 650 Fifth Avenue and Related Properties. The bill provides an exception to previous payment restrictions for these specific creditors, allowing them to be released from previously withheld funds in escrow and enabling them to participate in future payment rounds just like other claimants, regardless of any prior conditional payment applications. Essentially, this amendment ensures that these particular 9/11-related judgment creditors will have full access to potential compensation from the terrorism victim fund, removing previous limitations that might have restricted their ability to receive payments. The amendments are retroactively applied as if they were enacted on December 29, 2022, providing immediate effect to these new rules.
