[R-IN-8] (R-IN), 2026-02-23T00:00:00.000Z ## Provisions PRIA read - Up to $25M for terror tips: benefit, high. You could get up to $25,000,000 for information that leads to the arrest, conviction, or capture of listed terrorists tied to the October 7 attack. The Secretary of State could approve larger rewards when needed and may pay up to twice the amount for tips that help capture a leader. - More funds and help for U.S. victims: benefit, medium. The President would have 90 days to move certain frozen Iran‑related funds into the U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund. This could mean more money for eligible U.S. victims, and it would not block later claims by October 7 victims. The Attorney General, with Treasury and State, would al… - DOJ push to seize corrupt assets: benefit, medium. The Department of Justice would start an Iran Kleptocracy Initiative. It would find and expose corrupt Iranian officials and hidden assets, and work with Treasury and allies to freeze, seize, or repurpose assets. It would coordinate prosecutions and send Congress a yearly report on actions taken. - Keep Iran sanctions until strict steps: cost, high. This bill would make it much harder to lift Iran sanctions. Sanctions would stay in place until the President certifies Iran met many conditions, and several Iran-related executive orders would keep running. The President would have to send Congress a report before ending, waiving, or licensing maj… - Limit future waivers on Iran sanctions: cost, high. If enacted, this would sharply curb waiver powers. Existing waivers under certain sector laws would end on enactment, and no waivers under those sections could be issued before February 1, 2028. Two years after enactment, one sector’s waiver authority would end entirely. Starting February 1, 2028,… - Tougher sanctions on Iran missiles: cost, high. The bill would expand sanctions tied to Iran’s missile and drone programs. Within 120 days, sectors that help missile work could be listed, with asset blocks, visa bans, and bank limits starting after 180 days. It would force quick blocking (within 15 days) of those identified as supporters, and bl… - Tighter bank rules on Iran deals: cost, high. This would lock in a ban on many transfers to or from Iran when U.S. dollars are used until a strict certification is made. U.S. banks would be barred from big transactions with foreign banks that break these rules, and foreign banks that handle major transactions for blocked persons could lose U.S… - Faster blocking for terror backers: cost, medium. Agencies would have to find and act on people who fund or support terrorist groups within 60 days and then every 60 days. Blocking would be mandatory, not optional. The bill would also make the Houthi designation order act like a law, adding more force to those sanctions. - Public lists of Iran backers: cost, medium. If enacted, the government would publish lists of foreign people and entities that helped Iran’s missile work, plus entities linked to the IRGC even with small ownership or board influence. A report would also name large Iranian companies and banks and assess IRGC ties. The GAO would review these l… - Sanctions on Iran arms transfers: cost, medium. If enacted, the President would sanction foreign people who help supply, sell, or transfer arms to or from Iran within 60 days and then every 180 days. Sanctions could block assets and revoke or deny visas. The President would also have to certify every 180 days that people named in certain UN anne… - Sanctions on Iran's Supreme Leader: cost, medium. Within 30 days, the President would have to sanction Iran’s Supreme Leader and related officials and appointees. Sanctions would block assets, ban visas and admission with immediate visa revocation, and allow penalties for violations. People who materially assist, conduct major transactions, or own… - Wider sector and shipping sanctions: mixed, high. The bill would add many industries to Iran sector sanctions, including iron, steel, aluminum, copper, construction, manufacturing, mining, textile, petrochemical, automotive, and financial. It would also broaden what counts as “significant support” to Iran shipping to include port authorities, char… ## Related bills - 119-hr-703: Main Street Tax Certainty Act - 119-hr-452: Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act - 119-hr-1422: Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025 - 119-hr-1502: North Platte Canteen Congressional Gold Medal Act - 119-hr-842: Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage Act - 119-hres-719: Honoring the life and legacy of Charles Charlie James Kirk. ## Sources - [119-hr-2570 on Congress.gov](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/2570) ## Related - [119-hr-703: Main Street Tax Certainty Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-703) - [119-hr-452: Miracle on Ice Congressional Gold Medal Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-452) - [119-hr-1422: Enhanced Iran Sanctions Act of 2025](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-1422) - [119-hr-1502: North Platte Canteen Congressional Gold Medal Act](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-1502) - [119-hr-842: Nancy Gardner Sewell Medicare Multi-Cancer Early Detection Screening Coverage A…](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-842) - [119-hres-719: Honoring the life and legacy of Charles Charlie James Kirk.](https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hres-719) - [All bills in Congress](https://policyrisk.com/legislation) Source: PRIA, https://policyrisk.com/legislation/119-hr-2570 (as of 2026-11-01).
