Bill overview
The Democracia Act aims to increase U.S. pressure on the Cuban government by imposing asset and visa blocking sanctions on foreign persons involved in transactions with Cuba. It establishes an interagency task force to improve internet access for the Cuban people and targets individuals and entities involved in human rights abuses, corruption, and support for the Cuban military and intelligence apparatus. The sanctions are subject to exceptions and a waiver process, and their implementation is contingent on the Cuban government meeting specific political and economic criteria. Ultimately, the bill seeks to deny the Cuban government financial resources and restrict its ability to operate.
