PANA Act of 2026
The PANA Act of 2026 creates a new fund in the U.S. Treasury to support democratic governance, human rights, independent media, and anti-corruption efforts in Venezuela. This fund will be financed by assets forfeited from individuals or entities linked to the regimes of Hugo Chávez or Nicolás Maduro after the bill is enacted. The money can be used by the State Department without needing additional annual approval from Congress, and officials must report annually to Congress on how the funds are being used.
