Easier Syria dealings for businesses
If enacted, this bill would repeal two U.S. laws that authorize Syria-related sanctions. Those laws are the 2003 Syria Accountability Act and the 2012 Syria Human Rights Act. The repeal would take effect upon enactment. Businesses and investors who deal with Syria could face fewer U.S. legal limits and lower compliance costs. U.S. agencies would lose the statutory authorities those laws provided for sanctions and accountability. That change could raise security or policy concerns even as it eases some trade and finance.
