Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed 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.
The Sanctions Lists Harmonization Act requires federal agencies to coordinate more closely when adding individuals or entities to U.S. sanctions lists. When someone is added to one of six major sanctions lists—including Treasury's list of specially designated nationals, the Commerce Department's military end-user list, and the Entity List for export controls—the responsible agency must notify other agencies within 30 days and those agencies must review whether the person or entity should also be added to their own lists within 90 days. The bill affects Treasury, Commerce, and Defense Department officials who manage these different sanctions programs. Within one year of enactment, each agency must report to Congress on their compliance with these notification and review requirements, including details on how many additional entities were added to lists as a result of this new coordination process. The legislation aims to close gaps in sanctions enforcement by ensuring that targeted individuals and entities face consistent restrictions across all relevant federal programs.
