Bill Analysis
Bill Summary: HJRES 79 (118th Congress)
HJRES 79 is a joint resolution concerning the national emergency declared by the President on May 11, 2004, under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA). This resolution aims to terminate the national emergency that has been in effect since that date, which was originally declared in response to the situation in Sudan, specifically addressing the ongoing humanitarian crisis and the actions of the Sudanese government.
Key Provisions and Authorities: The resolution invokes the authority granted to Congress under the National Emergencies Act (NEA) to terminate a national emergency. By passing this resolution, Congress effectively revokes the President’s authority to impose economic sanctions or other measures that were enacted as a result of the declared emergency.
Funding and Agencies Affected: The resolution does not allocate new funding but impacts the enforcement of existing sanctions and restrictions associated with the national emergency. Agencies such as the Department of the Treasury, particularly the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC), which administers and enforces economic sanctions, would see a change in their operational authority concerning Sudan.
Beneficiaries and Regulatory Impact: The termination of this national emergency is expected to benefit individuals and entities in Sudan by potentially easing economic sanctions that have limited trade and investment opportunities. It may also impact humanitarian organizations operating in the region by allowing for increased engagement and support.
Key Timelines: The latest action on HJRES 79 was the laying on the table of a motion to reconsider, which was agreed to without objection, indicating a consensus on the resolution’s passage. The resolution’s progress reflects a legislative effort to reassess U.S. foreign policy towards Sudan and the broader implications of long-standing economic sanctions.
In summary, HJRES 79 represents a significant legislative step toward reevaluating U.S. engagement with Sudan, with implications for economic policy, humanitarian efforts, and international relations.
