Latest action on S. 2934: Held at the desk.

Who this affects: This bill mainly affects U.S. people and companies facing foreign judgments after following U.S. sanctions or export-control rules. It also affects foreign businesses and individuals who won cases abroad and want to collect from money or property in the United States.

Why this matters: Foreign rulings tied to sanctions disputes can put U.S. people and companies at financial risk after they follow U.S. law. This bill would make those rulings much harder to turn into enforceable orders in the United States. It could protect U.S.-based assets, but it could also limit recovery for foreign parties that won cases abroad. The broader effects are uncertain and may depend on how foreign courts and governments respond.

Key provisions in S. 2934

• Private parties could not use U.S. federal or state courts to enforce a foreign judgment or foreign arbitration award when the dispute came from actions taken to follow U.S. sanctions that blocked a contract.
• U.S. courts also could not enforce a foreign ruling when the foreign court or tribunal used U.S. sanctions, U.S. export controls, or foreign anti-sanctions laws to claim power over the case.
• Any defendant in a covered enforcement case could move it to a U.S. district court. The district court would then have to dismiss the case.
• The President and U.S. officials would keep all current powers to enforce sanctions and export-control laws.
• U.S. nationals and certain protected people would keep existing rights to sue over international terrorism, torture, extrajudicial killing, aircraft sabotage, or hostage taking.
