Latest Action · June 7, 2024
Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on the Judiciary, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
This bill extends sanctions restrictions related to European energy security through January 1, 2031, and eliminates the President's ability to waive those sanctions. The legislation modifies the Protecting Europe's Energy Security Act of 2019, which had previously included a waiver provision allowing the President to exempt certain activities from sanctions penalties. By removing this waiver authority and extending the sanctions deadline, the bill makes the energy security restrictions permanent and binding regardless of changing political circumstances or diplomatic considerations. The bill was introduced in June 2024 and referred to the House Committees on Foreign Affairs and the Judiciary for review. The primary effect is to lock in current sanctions policy toward European energy projects without allowing future presidential discretion to modify the approach.
