Bill overview
This bill, the IJC Accountability Act, aims to hold the International Joint Commission (IJC) liable for its actions. It directs the President to remove the IJC’s immunity from lawsuits, allowing individuals and entities to sue the organization for damages or other legal issues. The bill retroactively applies this change, making the IJC subject to legal action for actions taken starting December 1, 2016. This legislation seeks to increase accountability for the IJC’s management of the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River.
