What this bill does
H.R. 10507, the Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act of 2026, would require the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study and submit a report to Congress by December 31, 2028. This study would examine the potential expansion of jurisdiction under the terrorism exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act. Specifically, it would assess how many more individuals could be eligible for payments if the exception included victims of attempted extrajudicial killings or assaults, and what additional funding would be needed. The report would also explore legislative amendments for such an expansion, including victims with psychiatric injuries.
The bill also mandates a detailed accounting of funds and property proceeds paid to the United States since December 18, 2015, related to violations of economic and trading laws, or actions involving state sponsors of terrorism. This includes listing funds exceeding $5 million, identifying their source or the violations involved, and accounting for any interest earned. The study's findings and the financial accounting would affect potential future legislative actions regarding victims of terrorism.
As this bill has just been introduced, it has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary and the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The next step would be for these committees to consider the bill, after which it could be reported to the full House of Representatives for a vote.
