Accountability for Terrorist Perpetrators of October 7th Act
About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · March 25, 2025
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 requires the President to impose economic and immigration sanctions against the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), a Palestinian militant group, within 90 days of enactment. The sanctions include freezing any PRC assets in the United States and barring PRC members and affiliates from entering the country or obtaining visas, with any existing visas immediately revoked. The bill cites the PRC's participation in the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel and its history of attacks against Americans, Israelis, and Palestinians since 2000 as justification. Additionally, the bill requires the State Department to report within 90 days on whether two other groups—Lion's Den and the PRC—meet the criteria for formal designation as global terrorists and foreign terrorist organizations, with ongoing reviews every two years thereafter. The President may waive sanctions for up to 180-day periods for national security reasons or terminate them if the group ceases terrorism activities or disbands.
