What this bill would do

This bill is called the "Never Forget the Victims of Terrorism: Joseph D. Mistrulli and Alan Kleinberg USVSST Fund Solvency Act". It allows the Secretary of the Treasury to loan $3,000,000,000 to the United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund for fiscal years 2027, 2028, and 2029. These borrowed funds must be included in and distributed as part of the annual payment required under subsection (d). The loans will bear interest and must be repaid using specific fines, penalties, and forfeitures involving state sponsors of terrorism. The authority for this borrowing expires on September 30, 2029.
