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 clarify payment rules for a specific group of 9/11 victims' creditors. It ensures funds withheld from "Havlish Settling Judgment Creditors" (those with 9/11 claims tied to a 2014 New York court case) are released to them and allows them to participate in future payments like other claimants. The bill directly affects creditors identified in the April 16, 2014, court order for the 650 Fifth Avenue case. It makes no new financial commitments but corrects technical payment procedures for this defined group, effective retroactively to December 29, 2022.
