Venezuela Defense of Human Rights and Civil Society Reauthorization Act of 2023

This bill extends existing U.S. sanctions and restrictions on Venezuela until December 31, 2025, by updating expiration dates in four related laws. It directly affects Venezuelan government entities, businesses, and individuals subject to current U.S. sanctions under the Russian-Venezuelan Threat Mitigation Act, Venezuelan Arms Restriction Act, Venezuela Emergency Relief Act, and Venezuela Defense of Human Rights Act. The key mechanism is amending specific sections to replace 2023 with 2025 as the end date for these measures. This reauthorization maintains current policy without creating new restrictions. The bill focuses solely on extending existing sanctions and aid provisions, not altering their scope or targets.
