What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "Holding Accountable Russian Mercenaries Act" or "HARM Act 2.0," aims to designate Russian-based paramilitary organizations and their successor entities as foreign terrorist organizations. It specifically targets groups that have absorbed the personnel and infrastructure of the Wagner Group, such as the Africa Corps, Redut PMC, and Patriot PMC. The legislation requires the Secretary of State to compile detailed lists of these successor entities and their leadership. It also mandates a review process by the Comptroller General to ensure accuracy. Finally, it calls for various federal agencies to work together to determine if these groups meet the criteria for terrorist designation and to apply necessary measures.
