What this bill would do

This bill, titled the "Designate CAIR as a Terrorist Organization Act," directs the Secretary of State to conduct a specific review of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. This review must be done in collaboration with the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury. The purpose is to determine if the organization meets the criteria to be designated as a foreign terrorist organization under the Immigration and Nationality Act. Within 90 days of the act's enactment, the Secretary must submit a report to Congress regarding the findings. This report will state whether the organization is designated as a foreign terrorist organization or provide a summary of findings if it is not.
