Bill overview
The SEVER Act aims to restrict entry into the United States for individuals who have been sanctioned under Executive Order 13876, which targets Iran. Specifically, the bill modifies existing law to ensure that the State Department considers whether a person is subject to these sanctions when determining visa eligibility. This legislation seeks to strengthen enforcement of existing sanctions against Iran and prevent sanctioned individuals from traveling to the U.S., bolstering the effectiveness of U.S. foreign policy.
