What this amendment would do

SA 6224, submitted by Mr. Kennedy, aims to change the Special Drawing Rights Act by adding a new section.

The purpose of this amendment is to stop the President, or any person or agency acting for the United States, from voting to allocate Special Drawing Rights to a member country of the Fund unless Congress authorizes it by law.

This prohibition applies if the member country's government has:

  • Committed genocide within the 10-year period ending on the date of the vote.

  • Been determined by the Secretary of State, as of the date of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027, to have repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.
