## Summary

**Sanctions regime targeting El Salvador's government for gross human-rights violations.** This bill would create a broad sanctions system that names and blocks Salvadoran officials and affiliated actors for serious human-rights abuses, violations of international law, or schemes that deprive U.S. residents of rights using U.S. funds. It would also link U.S. and international financial access to a certification that those abuses have stopped, with measures that can be reimposed if violations resume. - Salvadoran officials and affiliated actors: The bill would authorize designations that block property, bar U.S. visas, deny loans, and restrict foreign-exchange access for identified people and entities. - International financial institutions and U.S. assistance: It would direct the Treasury and U.S. Executive Directors at IFIs to limit loans and technical assistance to the Government of El Salvador, allow a narrow humanitarian exception, and restore support only after a certification of compliance. - Oversight, enforcement, and crypto monitoring: The bill would require public, ongoing reports to Congress, authorize penalties and rulemaking under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), and mandate a dedicated assessment of cryptocurrency use by Salvadoran officials including estimated spending, exchange addresses, and access controls.
