Show full summary
- Individuals identified as Muslim Brotherhood members are made ineligible for visas, admission, or parole. The President must base determinations on credible evidence and sanctions under 22 U.S.C. 1741d(b)(1) can be applied; current visas may be revoked immediately.
- The bill amends the Anti-Terrorism Act to broaden prohibitions to include the PLO, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their affiliates. It records findings that link Hamas to the Brotherhood and cites destabilizing actions by MB branches.
- It defines key terms such as "Muslim Brotherhood," "Muslim Brotherhood branch," "Muslim Brotherhood member," "foreign person," and "United States person." The U.S. person definition covers citizens, permanent residents, foreign nationals residing in the U.S., and U.S.-lawed entities including foreign branches.

Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
4 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 2 costs, 1 mixed.
Broadened anti-terror prohibitions
If enacted, the bill would amend the Anti-Terrorism Act so places that now refer to the PLO would instead refer to "the PLO, the Muslim Brotherhood, and their affiliates." That change would let existing statutory bans and legal tools that applied to the PLO also apply to the Muslim Brotherhood and its affiliates. This would expand who can face the Act's criminal and civil prohibitions and related penalties.
New sanctions and visa rules
If enacted, the bill would require the President to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization and to apply asset-blocking sanctions within 90 days. The State Department would have to apply immigration measures, including making identified members inadmissible and immediately revoking current visas. For branches identified in the required reports, the President would have to act within 30 days. The bill would bar removing those sanctions for four years from a branch report date with a positive determination.
Definitions for covered persons
If enacted, the bill would add precise definitions used in this title. It would define "Muslim Brotherhood," "Muslim Brotherhood branch," "Muslim Brotherhood member," "foreign person," and "United States person." The bill would list many countries where branches operate (for example, Egypt, Gaza, Turkey, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, and others) and let the Secretary of State add more countries. These definitions would decide who can face the bill's bans, sanctions, or immigration limits.
Annual report on Brotherhood branches
If enacted, the bill would require the Secretary of State to send Congress a public report within 90 days and every year after. The report would list all Muslim Brotherhood branches (including those in the bill's country list) and say whether each branch meets the bill's criteria for designation. The report may include a classified annex if needed. The reporting is meant to support future designations and sanctions.
