Justice for Veterans and Victims of Terrorism Act of 2026

This bill would require the Comptroller General of the United States (head of the Government Accountability Office) to complete a study and send a report to Congress by December 31, 2028. The study would estimate how many more people could receive payments if the terrorism exception to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act were expanded to cover victims of attempted extrajudicial killings or assaults, and how much more funding those payments would require. It would also identify what changes to the law would best accomplish this, including for people with psychiatric injuries. The report would list funds and property sale proceeds forfeited or paid to the United States since December 18, 2015, from violations involving sanctions laws or state sponsors of terrorism, along with any interest earned on those penalties.
