Justice for Former American Hostages in Iran Act of 2015

H.R.3338
Introduced: 
July 29, 2015
114
First
September 8, 2015
Referred to House (sub)committee

Like the similar Senate measure (see S. 868 of 3/26/15), this bill would establish a U.S. Treasury fund to support U.S. citizens who were held hostage in Iran between 1979 and 1981. It would also deposit into the fund 30% of any fines imposed on persons found to be violating sanctions on Iran, but the payout structure would be slightly different, and identical to the one outlined by the similar provision in S. 1635 of 6/18/15.

82 cosponsors (52R, 30D).

Last major action: 9/8/15 referred to Subcomm. on the Constitution and Civil Justice.
