A bill to amend the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to provide rules for payments to Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors.

This bill changes the federal law that runs the U.S. Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Fund. It creates an exception for a group called Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors, who are September 11, 2001 attack victims, estates, or successors named as settling creditors in a 2014 federal court order about the 650 Fifth Avenue properties in New York. Payments set aside for these creditors and held back from distribution would be released and paid to them. They could also take part in future rounds of fund payments in the same way as other 9/11-related claimants. The changes would apply as if they had become law on December 29, 2022.
