Honduras Expropriation Accountability Act

This bill would allow the Foreign Claims Settlement Commission of the United States to review claims by United States persons whose property was taken by the Government of Honduras. It would add Honduras to an existing 1949 law that already covers property claims against the governments of Cuba and China. Claims against Honduras would cover property taken since January 1, 1979. The bill defines the Government of Honduras to include any of its political subdivisions, agencies, or instrumentalities. The Commission would have to give public notice of the claims process within 60 days after the bill becomes law.
