A bill to extend the sunset of the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996 in order to effectuate the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action in guaranteeing that all nuclear material in Iran remains in peaceful activities

This bill would extend the Iran Sanctions Act (ISA) of 1996, which laid the foundation for all subsequent U.S. sanctions on Iran, until the president certifies to Congress that the International Atomic Energy Agency has concluded that all nuclear material in Iran remains in peaceful activities. The ISA was set to sunset on 12/31/16. This bill would effectively tie its termination to Iran’s adherence to the 7/14/15 nuclear deal.
