## Summary

**Mandatory congressional review** would require the President to notify Congress and justify any termination, waiver, or licensing action that meaningfully changes U.S. sanctions policy toward Iran. The bill would force a formal report to specific committees and impose a timed congressional review before such actions could take effect. - Families and households: Slower or blocked sanctions relief could affect the pace of diplomatic deals that indirectly shape global oil markets and economic conditions. This bill would make major shifts in U.S. policy toward Iran less likely to happen quickly. - The Executive branch: The President would need to submit a report explaining the action, why it does or does not significantly alter policy, and the expected national security effects. The President could not take the action during a 30 day review window unless a joint resolution of approval passed and could face a 60 day extension in a specified summer period. - Congress and oversight: The bill gives Senate and House committees and party leaders defined rights to request extra information and use expedited procedures to approve or disapprove actions. It creates a clear route for Congress to block or fast-track major sanctions changes.
