AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the President, within 90 days of the law taking effect, to designate the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization and apply terrorism-related sanctions to it. It would add the Muslim Brotherhood to an existing 1987 anti-terrorism law that bans certain activities connected to the PLO, such as receiving funds from it or keeping an office for it in the United States. The bill would require the Secretary of State to deny visas and entry to, and revoke current visas of, foreign persons the President finds are Muslim Brotherhood members. The Secretary of State would also report to Congress each year on Muslim Brotherhood branches in many countries and whether each meets the criteria for terrorist designation. Branches found to meet those criteria would face sanctions within 30 days of each report.
