Would require companies that issue stocks, bonds, and other securities to report to the Securities and Exchange Commission whether they or their affiliates have violated any existing laws or executive orders imposing sanctions on Iran. On 4/6/11 over 1,000 members of NORPAC, a pro-Israel political action committee that directly funds candidates for Congress, held meetings with 450 members of Congress and asked them to vote for this bill and its Senate companion measure (S. 366 of 2/16/11). The provisions of this bill were also included in S. 1048 of 5/23/11 which was a primary focus of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s (AIPAC) lobbying efforts in 2011.
