STOP MADURO Act
The STOP MADURO Act (S 39) increases the maximum reward to $100 million for information leading to the arrest and conviction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro Moros. It directly affects Maduro and his regime officials by authorizing this reward through the State Department's existing rewards program. The bill's key provision allows the reward to be funded exclusively by liquidating assets already withheld from Maduro's regime under U.S. sanctions laws. This change does not alter existing sanctions but specifically boosts the financial incentive for securing his conviction.
