RSF Terrorist Designation Act
This bill mandates that the U.S. Secretaries of State and Treasury jointly review the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of Sudan within 90 days to determine if they meet the criteria for a global terrorist organization. If the RSF is affirmatively designated, the President must impose sanctions, which include freezing their assets within U.S. jurisdiction and preventing associated individuals from entering the United States. The bill provides exceptions for humanitarian assistance, U.S. national security activities, and allows for a waiver of sanctions if it's deemed important for U.S. national security interests. Concurrently, the Secretary of State must submit a report to Congress detailing the designation decision, foreign support to the RSF, and the implications of the designation.
