Bill overview
This bill aims to give Congress a way to prevent the Secretary of State from revoking a designation of an organization as a foreign terrorist organization. If the Secretary intends to revoke such a designation, the State Department must notify Congress at least 45 days in advance. Congress then has 45 days to pass a joint resolution blocking the revocation. This process provides a check on the Secretary’s authority and allows Congress to weigh in on decisions regarding terrorism designations.
