Bill overview
This bill amends the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to specifically provide compensation to the families of American hostages held in Iran. It reauthorizes funds from a specific reserve fund to cover outstanding claims related to these hostages and mandates that payments be made within 30 days of the bill’s enactment. The changes clarify the use of these funds and ensure they are exclusively used for hostage family compensation.
