Summary
Would block U.S. votes to allocate International Monetary Fund Special Drawing Rights to governments tied to genocide or state-sponsored terrorism unless Congress explicitly authorizes those allocations. It uses a 10-year genocide window and requires Secretary of State terrorism findings tied to the Export Control Reform Act, the Foreign Assistance Act, or the Arms Export Control Act.
Show full summary
- U.S. officials and agencies would be barred from voting to approve SDR allocations under IMF Article XVIII to affected member countries unless Congress passes a law authorizing the vote.
- Governments that committed genocide within the past 10 years or that the Secretary of State has formally determined repeatedly supported terrorism would be blocked from receiving SDR allocations via U.S. votes.
- Congress would gain explicit authority to allow an allocation despite those findings by enacting a statute.
