About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 12, 2025
Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, and Financial Services, 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.
H.R. 3941 seeks to repeal the Caesar Syria Civilian Protection Act of 2019, which is a federal law that imposed economic sanctions on Syria and individuals or entities doing business with the Syrian government. The bill, introduced in June 2025 by a bipartisan group of House members, would eliminate these sanctions restrictions entirely. The Caesar Act currently affects U.S. companies, foreign businesses engaged in Syrian trade, and humanitarian organizations operating in Syria by limiting financial transactions and trade with the Syrian government and regime-linked entities. The legislation contains no new funding provisions, as it is solely a repeal measure. If passed, this would reverse U.S. sanctions policy toward Syria and allow unrestricted economic engagement with the country, a significant shift from current U.S. foreign policy toward the Syrian government.
