What this bill would do

The Sanctions Lists Harmonization Act requires a review process for individuals or entities already subject to certain U.S. sanctions. When someone is added to one specific sanctions list, federal officials must notify the administrators of other specific lists. These officials must then review and make a determination on whether to include that individual or entity on their own lists. The bill covers several lists including those held by the Department of the Treasury, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Defense. Finally, agencies must submit reports to congressional committees regarding their compliance and the results of these reviews.
