Sanctions Lists Harmonization: Faster Restrictions Imposed

This new law aims to streamline the process of imposing sanctions on individuals and entities. If someone is placed on one government sanctions list, other federal agencies will be notified and must quickly decide whether to also impose their sanctions on that individual or entity. This is intended to ensure that sanctioned parties cannot easily circumvent restrictions, potentially impacting international transactions and financial security.
Key points
Faster Notification: Government agencies must inform each other about new sanctions list entries within 30 days.
Review Requirement: Other agencies will have 30 days to initiate a review on whether the individual or entity should be added to their sanctions lists.
90-Day Decision: A final decision on imposing sanctions by other agencies must be made within 90 days of notification.
Increased Consistency: The goal is to ensure that sanctioned individuals and entities face similar restrictions across all relevant areas.
