What This Bill Does
This proposed amendment to the annual defense authorization bill would create new procedures for the U.S. government to seize and forfeit assets belonging to Russian 's.' It expands the types of property eligible for forfeiture and extends the authority to use these funds to remediate harms caused by Russian aggression in Ukraine.
If enacted, this amendment would grant the Attorney General broader authority to bypass standard judicial processes when seizing assets linked to Russian-related sanctions violations, with the proceeds directed toward Ukraine-related remediation efforts for a period of three years.
