AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the Secretary of State to send Congress reports within 180 days on Houthi efforts to indoctrinate Yemenis, on obstacles to delivering humanitarian aid in Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen, and on human rights abuses committed by the Houthis. It would also require the Secretary of State, working with the Secretary of the Treasury, to decide each year whether Houthi members who restrict aid or commit listed abuses qualify for sanctions under the Global Magnitsky Act. A similar yearly decision would be required for Houthi members involved in taking U.S. nationals hostage or wrongfully detaining them. The law would end 5 years after it is enacted.
