Bill overview

This bill, the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act of 2025, permanently extends and strengthens the ability to pursue civil claims for Nazi-looted artwork and property. It removes barriers that have previously prevented these claims from being heard, such as limitations based on the passage of time and other non-merit defenses. The law now allows for broader jurisdiction, including over foreign states, and simplifies the process for serving legal documents, aiming to ensure that these claims can be resolved on their merits.
