Introduced
Summary
Removes the federal ban on using U.S. funds to acquire, develop, or build sites in Israel, Jerusalem, or the West Bank. By repealing Section 414 of the Omnibus Diplomatic Security and Antiterrorism Act of 1986 (22 U.S.C. 4862), the bill would permit site acquisition, development, or construction in those areas to be funded if later appropriations or authorizations provide money. The bill would not itself provide funding, create new programs, or set funding levels and leaves any spending decisions to subsequent laws and budget actions.

The change would take effect upon enactment.
