Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

14 provisions identified: 7 benefits, 0 costs, 7 mixed.

Crackdown on fentanyl finance networks

The law declares fentanyl trafficking a national emergency. The President can sanction foreign people involved and block their property. Treasury can force U.S. banks to apply special measures or block certain transfers tied to fentanyl money laundering. FinCEN must issue guidance within 180 days for suspicious reports on fentanyl networks. Forfeited assets tied to covered criminal groups go into federal forfeiture funds, with reports to Congress every 180 days.

More U.S. security loans and guarantees

For FY2024, the law raises several Foreign Assistance Act limits, including from $100 million to $7.8 billion. It also doubles caps for direct loans and loan guarantees to $8 billion and adds major non‑NATO allies and Indo‑Pacific partners. The Secretary of State must certify national security need, exigent circumstances, and a repayment plan at least 15 days before obligating funds and consult with Congress.

Emergency funds for U.S. forces

The law provides $2.44 billion for U.S. Central Command operations, force protection, and replacements. The money is available through September 30, 2024. The Defense Secretary must submit an execution plan and wait 30 days before spending and give 15 days’ notice before each transfer.

Seize Russian assets to aid Ukraine

After a required certification, the President can seize Russian government assets. Money goes into a Ukraine Support Fund for war damage, rebuilding, and aid. A transparency plan must go to Congress before spending. State and Treasury must report every 180 days on seized assets, deposits, and uses. This authority ends five years after enactment or earlier after a later certification.

Stronger oversight and flexible Ukraine aid

The law tightens checks on U.S. help for Ukraine. DoD and State must report on items sent and Ukraine’s top rebuilding needs. Aid must use in‑person monitoring, and State/USAID must certify oversight 15 days before first spending. U.S. budget support is capped at 50% of all donors unless the President issues a national security waiver and reports every 120 days. Agencies can shift funds in FY2024 for emergencies, and earlier Ukraine funds stay available through September 30, 2024. DoD can move up to $1 billion and the intelligence community up to $250 million, with quick notice. State must send detailed spend and operating plans within 15 days of enactment.

Tighter Gaza aid and Hamas finance controls

State must certify within 15 days that aid to Gaza has strong safeguards and then report every 90 days. The law gives $4 million to State OIG and $3 million to USAID OIG for oversight. The President must report on Hamas financing and can sanction people and states that fund or assist listed groups. Treasury must require U.S. banks to close accounts for listed persons after the report. The law blocks funds for UNRWA and bars this division’s funds from aiding Russia or Belarus.

Tougher sanctions on Iran oil and weapons

Starting 180 days after enactment, the President must sanction people who move Iranian oil, including ports, ships, and refineries, with up to two‑year U.S. port bans. The President can also sanction those who help Iran get missile technology. State must report within 90 days and then yearly on keeping missile limits and related supply chains. EIA must publicly report Iran’s oil exports within 120 days and yearly. State must send a 120‑day strategy on China’s role in evading oil sanctions. Certain bank purchases of Iranian oil or drones are treated as “significant” for sanctions, with determinations due in 180 days and yearly for five years.

Ukraine loan repayment and relief path

The President must set a repayment deal with Ukraine within 60 days of enactment. No debt can be canceled before November 15, 2024. After that date, up to 50% may be canceled after fast congressional review. Any remaining debt may be canceled after January 1, 2026, also after review. The President must send a report before any cancellation.

Ban on foreign adversary apps

The law bans distributing, updating, or hosting apps controlled by foreign adversaries in the U.S. after set deadlines, usually 270 days. The President may grant one 90‑day extension if a real divestiture plan is underway. Before the ban starts, app owners must give U.S. users their account data in a machine‑readable file. Violators face fines up to $5,000 per affected user for app distribution and $500 per user for data portability violations. The Justice Department can sue to enforce.

Sanctions on captagon trafficking networks

The President must sanction foreign people who help make, move, or profit from captagon. Sanctions block property in the U.S. and revoke visas. Regulations are due within 120 days. Humanitarian and intelligence exceptions apply, and waivers need 15 days’ prior notice to Congress.

New sanctions for cyber and threats

Starting 180 days after enactment, the President may sanction foreign people behind major cyber attacks. The President must sanction foreign people who order or threaten violence against U.S. officials; this requirement lasts four years. State must report Iranians who attacked U.S. citizens with drones, and the President must list them as foreign terrorist organizations for at least four years. The law sets a 10‑year time limit to bring civil or criminal cases under IEEPA or the Trading with the Enemy Act.

Blocks selling your sensitive data to foreign adversaries

Data brokers cannot sell, share, or give access to your sensitive personal data to foreign adversaries. The FTC treats violations as unfair or deceptive and enforces the ban. Sensitive data includes health, biometric, financial account details, precise location, private messages, login credentials, and nude images. Precise location means street-level accuracy or within 1,850 feet. Exceptions apply when you direct the sharing, for public information, news reporting, or service providers.

Align U.S. sanctions and study trade laundering

Within 90 days, the President must tell Congress who the EU or UK currently sanction and who meets U.S. sanctions tests, and may add U.S. sanctions. In the next national strategy update on terror finance, Treasury must include a report on trade‑based money laundering from Mexico or China involving Burma.

Faster transfers for Israel stockpile

For fiscal year 2024, defense items moved to Israel’s reserve stockpiles can be valued by the Defense Secretary instead of fair market value. In urgent national security cases, the President may shorten advance notice as far as practicable.
