File claims for property taken by Honduras

If enacted, this bill would let U.S. people and businesses file claims for property taken by the Government of Honduras. It would add the Government of Honduras to the foreign governments covered by Title V and define that term to include local governments, agencies, and instrumentalities. Claims could cover takings on or after January 1, 1979. You would need to file claims within 60 days after the bill is enacted and the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission would process them under Title V rules. This would create a legal route to seek settlement or compensation, but it would not guarantee payment.
