PANA Act of 2026

This bill would create a Venezuela Restoration Fund in the U.S. Treasury. Money and assets forfeited to the United States after the law takes effect by people or entities who acted for the governments of Hugo Chavez or Nicolas Maduro would be deposited in the fund. The Secretary of State could spend the fund, without further approval from Congress, on democratic governance, human rights, independent media, and anti-corruption efforts in Venezuela. The Treasury Secretary would report to Congress each year on the money deposited into and spent from the fund.
