New Review for Russian Energy Sanctions
This bill would create a special congressional review period for sanctions and licenses on Russian crude oil, petroleum, natural gas, and other Russian energy. The review period would start on enactment and last until the Secretary of State, after consulting several Cabinet and intelligence officials, certifies Russia has ended its war in Ukraine and committed to a just peace and compensation. During that period, energy-related actions would be subject to congressional review and could only proceed with a joint resolution or for narrow uses: crew safety, emergency repairs or environmental protection for energy transport vessels, or urgent economic needs in a foreign country other than Russia. If enacted, this would limit executive flexibility on energy sanctions and could affect energy markets and prices for U.S. households and businesses.
More Congressional Review of Sanctions
This bill would add Executive orders tied to Executive Order 14024 to the law that lets Congress review sanctions. If enacted, those orders and related blocking actions would be submitted to the statutory congressional review process. This would increase formal oversight of executive blocking actions. It could change the timing of blocking actions and affect people or companies whose property may be blocked.
