To require the imposition of sanctions with respect to Ansarallah and its officials, agents, or affiliates for acts of international terrorism.
HR 1250 requires the President to officially designate Ansarallah (the Houthi movement) as a foreign terrorist organization within 30 days of the bill becoming law. It also mandates that the President submit a determination within 30 days identifying whether three specific Houthi leaders - Abdul Malik al-Houthi, Abd al-Khaliq Badr al-Din al-Houthi, and Abdullah Yahya al-Hakim - are officials, agents, or affiliates of Ansarallah. The bill defines "Ansarallah" to include the Houthi movement and any other aliases. This legislation directly targets Ansarallah and the named individuals for potential sanctions under existing U.S. law.
