S. 2977: Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Extension Act of 2019
Legislation Details
116th Congress
A bill to extend the termination of sanctions with respect to Venezuela under the Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Act of 2014.
Sponsor: Sen. Robert Menéndez — D — NJ
Renews sanctions on Venezuela through calendar year 2021. Those sanctions, which expired at the end of calendar year 2019, targeted individuals acting on behalf of the Venezuelan government who are responsible for human rights abuses and violence in that country. Reimposing those sanctions would deny affected people entry into the Unites States and would block transactions in their assets and property that are in the United States or come under the control of U.S. persons.
