Sanctions Lists Harmonization Act

Increased Coordination Between Agencies: Under Section 2(a), federal officials are required to notify one another when an individual or entity is added to a specific list, which ensures different parts of the government are communicating about sanctions.

Mandatory Review of Sanctions Status: According to Section 2(b)(1), once a notification is received, a federal official must initiate a review to see if the individual or entity warrants being on another list.

Timely Determinations: Per Section 2(b)(2), federal officials are required to make a determination on whether to include the individual or entity on other lists within 90 days of receiving notification.

Congressional Oversight: Under Section 2(c)(1), federal agencies must submit reports to appropriate congressional committees to certify compliance and explain their processes, providing a way for Congress to monitor how these sanctions are being applied.

Expansion of Sanctions through Inter-Agency Notification: As noted in Section 2(c)(1)(A), the requirements may lead to the inclusion of additional individuals or entities on various sanctions lists through the coordinated review process.

Increased Oversight of Individuals and Entities: Under Section 2(b), the act creates a formal process where an individual or entity on one list is subject to review for inclusion on other lists, such as the Entity List or the Military End User List.
