What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill extends and adds to existing U.S. sanctions on Burma, pushing them out through the end of 2032. It requires the President to check each year, for seven years, whether certain Burmese banks, state-owned businesses that financially help Burma's military, and foreign companies involved in Burma's jet fuel industry should face sanctions. The bill also directs the U.S. representative at the International Monetary Fund to oppose giving Burma a bigger share of IMF ownership while Burma's military-led government is in power. Finally, it requires the State Department to name a Special Envoy for Burma, a high-ranking official responsible for managing all parts of U.S. policy related to Burma.
