Contact Congress about H.R. 450: FORCE Act

Cuba could not be removed from the U.S. terrorism sponsor list until the President meets a specific test from a 1996 Cuba law. That would keep related sanctions and legal limits in place unless that condition is satisfied.

Modern Action explains legislation in plain English, helps you choose whether to support, oppose, or ask for changes, and drafts a message tied to the bill, your stance, and the elected officials who can act on it.

FORCE Act is a House bill in committee. The latest recorded action: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Latest action on H.R. 450: Referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects people and groups tied to U.S. policy toward Cuba. It would most directly affect the Cuban government and anyone dealing with sanctions linked to Cuba's place on the U.S. terrorism sponsor list.

Why this matters: This matters because Cuba's place on the terrorism sponsor list affects real trade, aid, banking, and travel decisions. The bill would keep those limits tied to a 1996 Cuba law before any removal could happen. It could reduce fast policy changes by a future administration. The actual effects would depend on how U.S. sanctions and related laws are applied over time.

Key provisions in H.R. 450

  • The President and Secretary of State could not take Cuba off the U.S. terrorism sponsor list until the President makes the finding required by section 205 of the 1996 LIBERTAD Act.
  • The bill says this rule applies even if another law says something different. That means it would override conflicting legal authority.
  • The bill does not change what state sponsor of terrorism means. It points to existing laws on export controls, foreign aid, and arms export controls.
  • The normal process for naming countries as terrorism sponsors would stay in place. The bill only adds a special condition for taking Cuba off the list.
  • The bill ties Cuba's removal to an older Cuba-specific law, the LIBERTAD Act. It does not create a brand-new test.
