HR 8863 United States House · 118th Congress

BRAVE Burma Act

This bill extends the sunset period for certain Burma sanctions from 8 to 10 years and modifies reporting requirements. It mandates annual assessments (for 7 years) by the President to determine if specific Burmese state-owned enterprises, the Myanma Economic Bank, and jet fuel sector entities meet sanctions criteria, requiring reports to Congress. The bill also limits U.S. support for increasing Burma's International Monetary Fund shareholding if the military-led State Administration Council governs, with limited waiver authority. Additionally, it creates a U.S. Special Coordinator at the State Department to coordinate diplomatic efforts promoting human rights and democratic restoration in Burma, including multilateral sanctions and engagement with Burmese civil society. The bill directly affects U.S. sanctions enforcement, Burma's military leadership, and entities operating in Burma's economy.
