This division may be cited as the ‘‘Fentanyl Eradication and

Act’’.
SEC. 3002. SENSE OF CONGRESS.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the proliferation of fentanyl is causing an unprecedented
surge in overdose deaths in the United States, fracturing fami-
lies and communities, and necessitating a comprehensive policy
response to combat its lethal flow and to mitigate the drug’s
devastating consequences;
(2) the trafficking of fentanyl into the United States is
a national security threat that has killed hundreds of thousands
of United States citizens;
(3) transnational criminal organizations, including cartels
primarily based in Mexico, are the main purveyors of fentanyl
into the United States and must be held accountable;
(4) precursor chemicals sourced from the People’s Republic
of China are—
(A) shipped from the People’s Republic of China by
legitimate and illegitimate means;
(B) transformed through various synthetic processes
to produce different forms of fentanyl; and
(C) crucial to the production of illicit fentanyl by
transnational criminal organizations, contributing to the
ongoing opioid crisis;
(5) the United States Government must remain vigilant
to address all new forms of fentanyl precursors and drugs
used in combination with fentanyl, such as Xylazine, which
attribute to overdose deaths of people in the United States;
(6) to increase the cost of fentanyl trafficking, the United
States Government should work collaboratively across agencies
and should surge analytic capability to impose sanctions and
other remedies with respect to transnational criminal organiza-
tions (including cartels), including foreign nationals who facili-
tate the trade in illicit fentanyl and its precursors from the
People’s Republic of China; and H. R. 815—41
(7) the Department of the Treasury should focus on fentanyl
trafficking and its facilitators as one of the top national security
priorities for the Department.

TITLE II—REPURPOSING OF RUSSIAN
SOVEREIGN ASSETS
SEC. 101. FINDINGS; SENSE OF CONGRESS.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings:
(1) On February 24, 2022, the Government of the Russian
Federation violated the sovereignty and territorial integrity
of Ukraine by engaging in a premeditated, second illegal inva-
sion of Ukraine.
(2) The international community has condemned the illegal
invasions of Ukraine by the Russian Federation, as well as
the commission of the crime of aggression, war crimes, crimes
against humanity, and genocide by officials of the Russian
Federation, including through the deliberate targeting of
civilians and civilian infrastructure, the forcible transfer of
children, and the commission of sexual violence.
(3) The leaders of the G7 have called the Russian Federa-
tion’s ‘‘unprovoked and completely unjustified attack on the
democratic state of Ukraine’’ a ‘‘serious violation of inter-
national law and a grave breach of the United Nations Charter
and all commitments Russia entered in the Helsinki Final H. R. 815—50
Act and the Charter of Paris and its commitments in the
Budapest Memorandum’’.
(4) On March 2, 2022, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted Resolution ES–11/1, entitled ‘‘Aggression
against Ukraine’’, by a vote of 141 to 5. That resolution
‘‘deplore[d] in the strongest terms the aggression by the Russian
Federation against Ukraine in violation of Article 2(4) of the
[United Nations] Charter’’ and demanded that the Russian
Federation ‘‘immediately cease its use of force against Ukraine’’
and ‘‘immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw
all of its military forces from the territory of Ukraine within
its internationally recognized borders’’.
(5) On March 16, 2022, the International Court of Justice
issued a provisional measures order requiring the Russian Fed-
eration to ‘‘immediately suspend the military operations that
it commenced on 24 February 2022 in the territory of Ukraine’’
and, in this regard, observed that ‘‘orders on provisional meas-
ures . . . have binding effect’’.
(6) On November 14, 2022, the United Nations General
Assembly adopted a resolution—
(A) recognizing that the Russian Federation has com-
mitted a serious breach of the most fundamental norms
of international law and its gross and systematic refusal
to obey its obligations has affected the entire international
community;
(B) recognizing the need for the establishment, in
cooperation with Ukraine, of an international mechanism
for compensation for financially assessable damages caused
by the Russian Federation’s internationally wrongful acts;
and
(C) recommending ‘‘the creation . . . of an international
register of damage to serve as a record . . . of evidence
and claims information on damage, loss or injury to all
natural and legal persons concerned, as well as the State
of Ukraine, caused by internationally wrongful acts of the
Russian Federation in or against Ukraine . . . .’’.
(7) The Russian Federation bears international legal
responsibility for its aggression against Ukraine and, under
international law, must cease its internationally wrongful acts.
Because of this breach of the prohibition on aggression under
international law, the United States is legally entitled to take
counter measures that are proportionate and aimed at inducing
the Russian Federation to comply with its international obliga-
tions.
(8) Approximately $300,000,000,000 of Russian sovereign
assets have been immobilized worldwide. Only a small fraction
of those assets, 1 to 2 percent, or between $4,000,000,000
and $5,000,000,000, are reportedly subject to the jurisdiction
of the United States.
(9) The vast majority of immobilized Russian sovereign
assets, approximately $190,000,000,000, are reportedly subject
to the jurisdiction of Belgium. The Government of Belgium
has publicly indicated that any action by that Government
regarding those assets would be predicated on support by the
G7.
(b) S
ENSE OFCONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that,
having committed an act of aggression, as recognized by the United H. R. 815—51
Nations General Assembly on March 2, 2022, the Russian Federa-
tion is to be considered as an aggressor state. The extreme illegal
actions taken by the Russian Federation, including an act of aggres-
sion, present a unique situation, justifying the establishment of
a legal authority for the United States Government and other
countries to confiscate Russian sovereign assets in their respective
jurisdictions.
SEC. 102. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING IMPORTANCE OF THE RUS-
SIAN FEDERATION PROVIDING COMPENSATION TO
UKRAINE.
It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the Russian Federation bears responsibility for the
financial burden of the reconstruction of Ukraine and for count-
less other costs associated with the illegal invasion of Ukraine
by the Russian Federation that began on February 24, 2022;
(2) the most effective ways to provide compensation for
the damages caused by the Russian Federation’s internationally
wrongful acts should be assessed by an international mecha-
nism charged with determining compensation and providing
assistance to Ukraine;
(3) at least since November 2022 the Russian Federation
has been on notice of its opportunity to comply with its inter-
national obligations, including to make full compensation for
injury, or, by agreement with Ukraine, to authorize an inter-
national mechanism to resolve issues regarding compensation
to Ukraine;
(4) the Russian Federation can, by negotiated agreement,
participate in any international process to assess the damages
caused by the Russian Federation’s internationally wrongful
acts and make funds available to compensate for these damages,
and if it fails to do so, the United States and other countries
should explore all avenues for ensuring compensation to
Ukraine;
(5) the President should lead robust engagement on all
bilateral and multilateral aspects of the response by the United
States to acts by the Russian Federation that undermine the
sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including on
any policy coordination and alignment regarding the
repurposing or ordered transfer of Russian sovereign assets
in the context of determining compensation and providing
assistance to Ukraine;
(6) as part of the robust engagement on bilateral and
multilateral responses to acts by the Russian Federation that
undermine the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine,
the President should endeavor to facilitate creation of, and
United States participation in, an international mechanism
regarding the repurposing or seizure of sovereign assets of
the Russian Federation for the benefit of Ukraine.
(7) the repurposing of Russian sovereign assets is in the
national interests of the United States and consistent with
United States and international law;
(8) the United States should work with international allies
and partners on the repurposing of Russian sovereign assets
as part of a coordinated, multilateral effort, including with
G7 countries and other countries in which Russian sovereign
assets are located; and H. R. 815—52
(9) any effort by the United States to confiscate and repur-
pose Russian sovereign assets should be undertaken alongside
international allies and partners as part of a coordinated, multi-
lateral effort, including with G7 countries, the European Union,
Australia, and other countries in which Russian sovereign
assets are located.

DIVISION L—MAHSA ACT
SEC. 1. SHORT TITLE.
This division may be cited as the ‘‘Mahsa Amini Human rights
and Security Accountability Act’’ or the ‘‘MAHSA Act’’.
SEC. 2. IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS ON IRAN’S SUPREME LEADER’S
OFFICE, ITS APPOINTEES, AND ANY AFFILIATED PERSONS.
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following:
(1) The Supreme Leader is an institution of the Islamic
Republic of Iran.
(2) The Supreme Leader holds ultimate authority over
Iran’s judiciary and security apparatus, including the Ministry
of Intelligence and Security, law enforcement forces under the
Interior Ministry, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps
(IRGC), and the Basij, a nationwide volunteer paramilitary
group subordinate to the IRGC, all of which have engaged
in human rights abuses in Iran. Additionally the IRGC, a
United States designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, which
reports to the Supreme Leader, continues to perpetrate ter-
rorism around the globe, including attempts to kill and kidnap
American citizens on United States soil.
(3) The Supreme Leader appoints the head of Iran’s
judiciary. International observers continue to criticize the lack
of independence of Iran’s judicial system and maintained that
trials disregarded international standards of fairness.
(4) The revolutionary courts, created by Iran’s former
Supreme Leader Ruhollah Khomeini, within Iran’s judiciary,
are chiefly responsible for hearing cases of political offenses,
operate in parallel to Iran’s criminal justice system and rou-
tinely hold grossly unfair trials without due process, handing
down predetermined verdicts and rubberstamping executions
for political purpose.
(5) The Iranian security and law enforcement forces engage
in serious human rights abuse at the behest of the Supreme
Leader. H. R. 815—83
(6) Iran’s President, Ebrahim Raisi, sits at the helm of
the most sanctioned cabinet in Iranian history which includes
internationally sanctioned rights violators. Raisi has supported
the recent crackdown on protestors and is a rights violator
himself, having served on a ‘‘death commission’’ in 1988 that
led to the execution of several thousand political prisoners
in Iran. He most recently served as the head of Iran’s judiciary,
a position appointed by Iran’s current Supreme Leader Ali
Khamenei, and may likely be a potential candidate to replace
Khamenei as Iran’s next Supreme Leader.
(7) On September 16, 2022, a 22-year-old woman, Mahsa
Amini, died in the detention of the Morality Police after being
beaten and detained for allegedly transgressing discriminatory
dress codes for women. This tragic incident triggered wide-
spread, pro-women’s rights, pro-democracy protests across all
of Iran’s 31 provinces, calling for the end to Iran’s theocratic
regime.
(8) In the course of the protests, the Iranian security forces’
violent crackdown includes mass arrests, well documented
beating of protestors, throttling of the internet and tele-
communications services, and shooting protestors with live
ammunition. Iranian security forces have reportedly killed hun-
dreds of protestors and other civilians, including women and
children, and wounded many more.
(9) Iran’s Supreme Leader is the leader of the ‘‘Axis of
Resistance’’, which is a network of Tehran’s terror proxy and
partner militias materially supported by the Islamic Revolu-
tionary Guard Corps that targets the United States as well
as its allies and partners.
(b) S
ENSE OFCONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress that—
(1) the United States shall stand with and support the
people of Iran in their demand for fundamental human rights;
(2) the United States shall continue to hold the Islamic
Republic of Iran, particularly the Supreme Leader and Presi-
dent, accountable for abuses of human rights, corruption, and
export of terrorism; and
(3) Iran must immediately end its gross violations of inter-
nationally recognized human rights.

Congress finds the following:
(1) Industrial scale production of the amphetamine-type
stimulant also known as captagon, and the illicit production H. R. 815—99
of precursor chemicals, in territories held by the regime of
President Bashar al Assad in Syria are becoming more sophisti-
cated and pose a severe challenge to regional and international
security.
(2) Elements of the Government of Syria are key drivers
of illicit trafficking in captagon, with ministerial-level com-
plicity in production and smuggling, using other armed groups
such as Hizballah for technical and logistical support in
captagon production and trafficking.
(3) As affiliates of the Government of Syria and other
actors seek to export captagon, they undermine regional secu-
rity by empowering a broad range of criminal networks, militant
groups, mafia syndicates, and autocratic governments.

It is the policy of the United States to target individuals,
entities, and networks associated with the Government of Syria

The Congress finds the following:

security forces, particularly the Islamic Revolutionary Guard
Corps (IRGC), in the economy.
(2) The Department of Treasury in 2019 designated the
Islamic Republic of Iran’s financial sector as a jurisdiction
of primary money laundering concern, concluding, ‘‘Iran has
developed covert methods for accessing the international finan-
cial system and pursuing its malign activities, including mis-
using banks and exchange houses, operating procurement net-
works that utilize front or shell companies, exploiting commer-
cial shipping, and masking illicit transactions using senior offi-
cials, including those at the Central Bank of Iran (CBI).’’. H. R. 815—104

ination for branches and subsidiaries of financial institutions

introduce enhanced relevant reporting mechanisms or system-
atic reporting of financial transactions, and require increased
external audit requirements, for financial groups with respect
to any of their branches and subsidiaries located in Iran.

on Terrorism’’ in 2021, ‘‘Iran continued to be the leading state
sponsor of terrorism, facilitating a wide range of terrorist and
other illicit activities around the world. Regionally, Iran sup-
ported acts of terrorism in Bahrain, Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, and
Yemen through proxies and partner groups such as Hizballah
