Referred to Senate (sub)committee

This bill would lift the ban on U.S. exports of crude oil. During a committee mark-up session on 10/1, Sen. Pat Toomey (R-PA) proposed language that would prohibit the Obama administration from lifting any sanctions in connection with the 7/14 Iran nuclear deal reached until it could certify that Iran had paid judgments brought against it in U.S. courts (similarly to measures H.R. 3457 of 9/9/15 and S. 2086 of 9/28/15). The committee approved this proposal by a vote of 13–9, despite Pres. Obama’s pledge to veto such measures.

3 cosponsors (2R, 1D).

Last major action: 5/19/15 referred to Senate Comm. of Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs.
