Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Sanctions on International Criminal Court backers
If enacted, the President would have to impose sanctions within 60 days. This would apply while the International Criminal Court tries to investigate or prosecute protected U.S. or allied people. Foreign people who support those court actions could be sanctioned. Sanctions would block property and U.S. transactions, and cancel visas immediately. Family members of a sanctioned person could also face these limits. The President would need to notify Congress within 10 days after any sanctions. Waivers could be granted case by case for up to 90 days with a report to Congress, and sanctions could end only if the court fully stops and closes those efforts.
End U.S. funding for International Criminal Court
If enacted, the U.S. government would stop using any federal money for the International Criminal Court on the day of enactment. Any approved funds not yet used would be taken back that same day. The bill lists no dollar amounts.
