Sanctions Evasion Whistleblower Rewards Act of 2023

This bill (S 2066) expands the State Department's whistleblower reward program to specifically incentivize reporting of sanctions evasion. It directly affects individuals or entities knowingly violating U.S. or UN sanctions by moving controlled goods, services, or technology across borders, or by providing training, financial services, or other assistance related to sanctioned activities. The key provision adds a new reward category for whistleblowers who identify such violations, including those involved in importing, exporting, reexporting, or facilitating sanctioned transactions. The change amends the State Department Basic Authorities Act to include these specific evasion activities under the existing rewards framework.
