Justice for Former American Hostages in Iran Act of 2024
This bill amends the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to specifically address unpaid claims for former American hostages held in Iran. It authorizes the appropriation of funds to make full payments for outstanding claims under certain provisions, requiring these payments to be completed within 30 days of the bill's enactment. The funds are restricted solely to these payments and cannot be used for any other purpose. This directly affects former hostages whose claims remained unpaid under the existing law.
