Sponsor: Rep. Michael McCaul — R — TX

H.R. 4744 would amend the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-195), primarily to impose sanctions on people and entities responsible for certain cases of politically motivated harassment, abuse, extortion, or extended detention or trial. In addition, H.R. 4744 would require the Administration to provide to the Congress reports on the implementation of the bill and a strategy to prevent Iran from detaining U.S. citizens and residents or taking them hostage.
