This bill prohibits the U.S. government from recognizing or normalizing relations with any Syrian government led by Bashar al-Assad, citing the regime's crimes against the Syrian people. It also directs the United States to actively oppose other countries from recognizing Assad's government and to fully enforce existing sanctions under the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019 and related executive orders. The legislation prevents federal officials and employees from taking any action or spending federal funds that would imply U.S. recognition of Assad or his government. The bill further authorizes the use of all available legal authorities to deter reconstruction activities in areas controlled by Assad. No specific funding amount or implementation timeline is specified in the legislation.
