What this bill would do

This bill, known as the "STOP MADURO Act," seeks to increase the maximum reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of Nicolas Maduro Moros. The proposed reward is up to $100,000,000. These funds are intended to be paid by the Federal Government. The money will be sourced from assets being withheld from Nicolas Maduro Moros, his regime officials, and their co-conspirators. The Secretary of State is authorized to pay this reward to individuals providing specific information.
