First
December 15, 2015
Referred to House (sub)committee

Like H.R. 4257, this bill was designed to block Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps access to funds following the 7/14/15 nuclear deal between Iran and the P5+1. Specifically, it would direct the president to impose sanctions on any entities in which the IRGC owned, directly or indirectly, at least a 20% stake (existing law authorizes sanctions on entities that are 50%, or more, owned by the IRGC); order the treasury to establish and publish a list of entities that the IRGC influenced where it owned a 20% interest or less; and authorize state and local governments to adopt and enforce sanctions against the IRGC and its affiliates.

4 cosponsors (4R).

Last major action: 12/15/15 referred to House Financial Services.
