S 5413 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to amend the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to provide rules for payments to Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors.

This bill amends the Justice for United States Victims of State Sponsored Terrorism Act to specifically address certain 9/11-related claimants. It creates an exception for "Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors" - plaintiffs or estates with valid 9/11 claims identified in a 2014 New York court case (In re 650 Fifth Avenue) - ensuring they receive funds previously withheld from distribution. The bill mandates releasing all escrowed funds allocated to these creditors and makes them eligible for future payment rounds alongside other claimants. It directly affects individuals or estates involved in the specified 2014 court settlement with 9/11-related claims.
