S 1153 United States Senate · 119th Congress

No Dollars for Dictators Act of 2025

This bill prohibits the U.S. government from voting to allocate International Monetary Fund (IMF) funds (Special Drawing Rights) to member countries that: (1) committed genocide within the past decade, or (2) are designated as state sponsors of terrorism under specific U.S. laws (including those related to terrorism support and arms exports). It requires explicit congressional approval for any such allocation, blocking the President or U.S. agencies from authorizing these funds without Congress’s direct consent. The bill directly affects IMF member nations meeting these criteria, preventing U.S. financial support through IMF mechanisms. It creates a new requirement for congressional authorization, rather than changing existing terrorism or genocide designations.
