Blocks foreign lawsuits in US courts seeking money from Americans who follow US sanctions.
This bill would stop foreign individuals or groups from suing Americans in U.S. courts to collect money if those lawsuits are based on actions taken to follow U.S. sanctions. It aims to protect U.S. people and businesses from being penalized for complying with U.S. foreign policy rules. It also seeks to prevent foreign individuals from getting paid for claims related to this compliance. This means certain foreign court orders or arbitration awards could no longer be enforced here.
Today, foreign judgments or arbitration awards related to U.S. sanctions compliance might be enforceable in U.S. courts. If this bill becomes law, U.S. Federal and State courts would be prohibited from enforcing such foreign judgments or awards, and any related lawsuits would be dismissed. This would apply to cases already ongoing or filed on or after the date the bill takes effect.
