Countering CCP Drones Act

Stalled

No recorded action in more than nine months. Bills that see no further action expire at the end of the two-year Congress.

In brief

This bill requires the President to designate Ansarallah, the Iran-backed movement in Yemen commonly known as the Houthis, as a foreign terrorist organization. The President must also identify and report to Congress any foreign persons determined to be officials, agents, or affiliates of Ansarallah to facilitate the imposition of sanctions. These measures would apply to the group's international financial interests and associated individuals. Introduced by Representative Abraham Hamadeh (R-AZ), the legislation is currently awaiting consideration by the House Committee on the Judiciary.
