AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would allow the President to impose sanctions on foreign people or groups found to have blocked or interfered with Lebanon's parliamentary elections, including efforts to stop Lebanese citizens living abroad from voting. Sanctions could include freezing their property in the United States, barring them from U.S. visas or entry, and revoking any visas they already hold. The President would have to report to certain congressional committees within 60 days, and then every six months, on people identified, sanctions imposed, and the state of Lebanon's elections. The sanctions authority would end 5 years after the bill becomes law.
