No Funding for Terrorist Licenses: New OFAC Rules

This act aims to restrict the funding or support of terrorist organizations by blocking funds for the implementation of certain licenses issued by the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). This means the government will have less flexibility in authorizing transactions that could indirectly support groups designated as terrorist, potentially impacting national and international security. For citizens, this signifies a strengthening of anti-terrorism policy, though the direct impact on daily life is minimal.
Key points
Blocks funds for the implementation of five specific OFAC licenses (General License 22-26) issued on January 17, 2024, related to sanctions against Ansarallah.
All future OFAC licenses concerning Ansarallah (designated as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist) will require Congressional approval, increasing legislative oversight of sanctions policy.
