Became Public Law
This bill extends the Iran Sanctions Act of 1996, which imposed sanctions on Iran and laid the groundwork for more, through 12/31/26.
Pres. Obama refused to sign this bill into law after it was passed in the House and Senate in late 11/2016 and early 12/2016, arguing that it would undermine the 7/14/15 nuclear deal with Iran (see Update on Conflict and Diplomacy in JPS 46 [1, 2]). However, he did not veto it and this bill passed into law without his signature on 12/15.
10 cosponsors (6D, 4R).
Last major action: 12/15/16 became public law (11/15/16 passed in House, 419–1; 12/1/16 passed in Senate, 99–0).
