AI Summary
This bill, the Kingpin Designation Improvement Act of 2016, amends the Foreign Narcotics Kingpin Designation Act, which allows the President to impose sanctions on foreign individuals identified as significant drug traffickers. The key provision allows for classified information, meaning sensitive government secrets, to be presented to a court reviewing a designation privately (ex parte) and in a closed session (in camera) without the other party present or knowing its contents, thereby protecting national security while still allowing for judicial oversight of the President's decision.
