What this bill would do
This bill requires the President to designate Ansarallah as a foreign terrorist organization within 30 days of the Act's enactment. Following that designation, the President must determine if specific individuals are officials, agents, or affiliates of the group. These individuals include Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim. The term Ansarallah covers the Houthi movement and any other aliases. The ultimate goal is to require the imposition of sanctions against Ansarallah and its members for acts of international terrorism.
