Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Representative Taylor, David J. [R-OH-2]

Introduced

Summary

This bill would require the Comptroller General to study whether expanding the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act exemption to cover victims of attempted extrajudicial killings and assaults would make more people eligible for payments. It would also require a detailed accounting of forfeited funds and net proceeds tied to sanctions and terrorism-related offenses to help Congress decide on legislative changes.

  • Victims and families: People harmed by attempted extrajudicial killings or assaults could become newly eligible for federal payments if the study recommends expanding eligibility. The study would also examine recognizing psychiatric injuries for compensation.
  • Congress and oversight: The Comptroller General would list all funds and net proceeds forfeited or paid to the United States since Dec 18, 2015 under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and the Trading with the Enemy Act, plus proceeds tied to conspiracies related to state sponsors of terrorism and forfeitures over $5 million, including interest and identifying details. The report must be submitted to Congress by Dec 31, 2028.
