The MEGOBARI Act authorizes targeted sanctions against Georgian officials and other foreign actors who undermine Georgia's sovereignty, territorial integrity, or Euro-Atlantic integration efforts, including visa bans and asset freezes for those found guilty of corruption or violence since January 2014. The bill requires the President to make determinations about sanctionable individuals within 90 days and mandates two comprehensive reports to Congress within 180 days examining Russian intelligence penetration in Georgia and a 5-year U.S.-Georgia strategic partnership plan. The legislation includes exceptions for humanitarian assistance, international legal obligations, and intelligence activities, while establishing a 5-year sunset clause that will terminate all provisions unless renewed by Congress. This measure primarily affects Georgian government officials, party leaders, and parliamentary members, as well as foreign persons who threaten Georgia's democratic development and territorial sovereignty.
